Real Estate Photography Raleigh

A beautiful new apartment community has been built in downtown Raleigh on Wilmington Street. Its called Elan City Center and is managed by Greystar, a company known for their quality properties. We were asked to go and shoot it prior to their residents moving in. We love doing architecture photography so this project was a really nice one to get. We do a lot of building photography in Raleigh and it appears that there are a lot of these new communities sprouting up especially downtown. Here are some of the images, but if you are looking for a really nice apartment in downtown Raleigh, you should go and check it out.

Commercial photography Raleigh Charlotte

Halfway through a big shoot this week for Paragon. First leg was in Raleigh, now off to Charlotte to continue. Love working with Ad Agencies and Art Directors, we made a good team and got some great photos even faced with some real challenges. Her are some behind the scenes shots of the Raleigh commercial photography shoot.


Food Photography Cary NC

As I have often written, one of my favorite things to photograph is food. So I was really excited when one of my favorite restaurants asked me to come in and photograph their food.

"An", which means "to dine" in Vietnamese, is an amazing restaurant. The restaurant showcases the flavors of Asian food with those of modern European. The Culinary Director is Steven Deveraux Greene who is also the Executive Chef of the AA "Five Diamond" award winning restaurant Heron's, at The Umstead Hotel and Spa - another of my favorites. Chef de Cuisine at An restaurant is Joshua Hughes and he and Steven have worked together for ten years.

For this photo shoot we really wanted to highlight the produce which is all sourced locally- some of which is actually grown on their own farm. Hope you enjoy the photos:



Commercial Photography Raleigh

Had fun the other night driving around Hasentree photographing Xmas lights for a lighting installation company. Some of these people go all out. It was pretty cool to see how great the sky looked in long exposure HDR. Here are some of the images.


Commercial Photography Durham

A few weeks ago we were asked to do a photo shoot for a new clothing company called "Press Play Couture". Having finished a product shoot for their new catalog a few weeks earlier it was time to put the clothing on some real people. We decided to use The Cotton Room in Durham for the shoot as this would give the exact "Vibe" that our client was looking for. So we headed over there with three models and spent the morning photographing the company's tee shirts. Here is one of the images from the photo session, others can be found on PPC's website: www.pressplayclothingcoutureclothingsupply.com
