As an Architectural photographer in Austin, I recently had the opportunity to do some architectural photography here in Austin for Austin Canyon Builders and Mente Sowell Architects. I am a commercial photographer in Austin. Both of these companies were involved in the design and construction of two spectacular Velocity Banks and Amplify Bank locations.

Roscoe Property Managers asked me to photograph interiors and exteriors and drone aerial photos of several multi family developments here in Austin. These images show some the outstanding designs that Roscoe can achieve. Most of the ground photos are on a Manfrotto Neo Tech Tripod with a Canon 5 D Mark III and a TS-E 17, f/4L Tilt Shift Lens. The aerial photos are with my DJI Mavic Pro 2 Drone.

As a professional architectural photographer in Austin, one of my most important lessons is Architectural Photography for Students. Often I will let them use their own equipment which usually includes at least a 28 mm zoom lens, and occasionally a 16 mm or 17 mm lens, which is about as wide as you want a lens for interior architecture because after that structures start getting very warped and there is significant keystoning that has to be corrected in Photoshop. Our general strategy is to shoot 5 bracketed exposures and blend those exposures in Photoshop. Nolan decided to use my lens since it is a Canon 17 mm tilt-shift lens which is an architectural photographers best friend because a tilt shift lens allows you to shoot your scene honoring true verticals and at the same time shift your lens up and down to your liking for the best composition. Here is what Nolan achieved shooting the new Public Library of Austin.

As an architectural photographer, Student Housing is my strong suit. I travel the country photographing luxury housing projects that are newly built, or that have been renovated. I was asked by national student housing developer to photograph two project on the University of Texas Austin campus. This one is Rio on West. I took Jake with me to do the shooting. I made him wait till twilight knowing full well that these scenes would scream 20 minutes after sunset. This is what Jake ended up with for two of the exteriors.
