Provides magazine-quality photography for leading architects, interior designers, developers and remodelers throughout the South West. For many years Henry did all of his architectural renderings on film with 4"x5" view cameras. But ever wanting to stay on the cutting edge of photographic technology, he has switched to digital capture, shooting with the latest high-end Nikon cameras with post production in Photoshop. He has an array of lighting equipment that will meet the challenges of the most complicated assignment.

Henry first became involved in architectural photography as the Publisher of Nevada Business Journal, a slick four-color magazine. Each month he included a section devoted to new building projects and office interiors throughout the state of Nevada. To his dismay, he found the quality of most of the photos submitted by designers and architects to be less than adequate, and only a few of those submitted by "professional" photographers met the magazine's high visual standards. Already experienced as a former freelance magazine writer/photo illustrator, Henry found it necessary to shoot these projects himself. His first effort was to document the construction of the new First Interstate Tower, the tallest non-hotel structure in the State followed by many high-end office and residential assignments. When he finally sold the magazine (to one of his interior designer clients, by the way) he decided to devote himself full-time to architectural photography.

About Kim:
Graphic Art School Graduate.
Kim is formally trained and highly skilled in Photoshop image enhancement and has a number of commercial website designs to her credit. In addition to being a fine art photographer, she is also a talented fine art painter with paintings hanging in many homes throughout Southern California. She also designs, constructs and paints sets for trade shows, conventions and corporate exhibits. As an artist, she appreciates the aesthetics of interior design and architecture, is aware of the talent and creative effort you put into each of your creations, and will treat your design as a work of fine art. Although Kim is an innovative Photoshop expert, she believes (as does Henry) that Photoshop is where you go to enhance good photos, not where you go to fix bad ones. Kim is also the creator of the popular "Tuff Kitty" series--a cat with an attitude. To see some of Kim's artwork.

About Our Rates

We bid each assignment on an individual basis. Every interior design and every building is a unique personality with unique photographic requirements and challenges in terms of lighting, composition, aesthetics, and the techniques required to render an image that reflects the designer's original vision. So before making a bid, we like to scout the location, see what is involved, consider the equipment and techniques that will be required. We like to spend some time with you discussing your tastes, your likes and dislikes, and make note of your visual goals for the specific project. Consequently, we do not quote an hourly or daily rate. To do so more often than not invites the question: "So how many rooms or buildings or photos can you shoot in an hour or day?" Any "quality" photographer who answers this question with a specific figure before scouting the project is being less than honest. Sure, we could walk through a home or commercial location and pop off a hundred pictures in an hour. But would you want to show them to your clients or send them to magazines as examples of your work? Keep in mind that It takes from 45 minutes to an hour just to set up the equipment.

Scouting the location ahead of time will save you money: While scouting we can consider the work flow and plan the shoot in a way that it can be accomplished in the least amount of time. Also, we will know what equipment to bring to the actual shoot so that we will not arrive only to find that the scene requires items that we did not bring. Note: Normally we do not charge a scouting fee, but If the location is far from our Long Beach base, we may request that you reimburse us for travel expenses.
