Student Housing Photography in Kennesaw, Ga
Student Housing Photography in Kennesaw, Ga
One of American Campus‘ most stunning and well – designed communities is U Pointe Kennesaw in Georgia. I love photographing student housing, because I am able to compare design and layout from property to property around the nation. U Pointe has a fitness center second to none. Not only is the size http://www.johnnystevens.comamazing but the architectural design is super cool.

Architectural photography for Austin Air B&B rental

Developers and architects are more willing to pay a bit more for at top notch architectural photographer in Austin, but occasionally a VBRO or AirB&B owner will call because they need photos that will stop the short term rental house surfers, and make them spend a little more time looking at their property. I recently photographed this home in Westlake, Austin that overlooks Barton Creek Country Club and the rolling hills of the Hill Country. This is sort of a hidden treasure located just off Bee Cave Road. The twilight shot Before and After is an example of some painstaking photoshop work to remove the house in the background, replace it with lovely hill country vistas, add grass to the yard, and drop in a new sunset sky.

Tecovas Waco Architectural Photography. Tecovas western wear and accessories opened a new store in Waco, Texas. I had about 2 hours before the doors opened to set up and shoot store architectural photographs without people wandering around. This store is beautifully designed and a dream come true for the western wear man or woman.

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.

Sometimes the mere size of a student housing property will make me stop and cry. When I arrived at Park West in College Station late in the morning, after realizing that there were actually 3 pools as I drove around this massive property I knew that I would be adding another night at my hotel. Sure enough, to shoot aerial drone photos, tripod photos, drone video and gimbal video, took every bit of two days. The video ended up coming together beautifully.

As a professional architectural photographer in Austin Texas, I am always looking for ways to improve my photographs. For Barshop and Oles Company I recently had the chance to think outside the box. For this photograph of HEB at Lakeline Mall in Austin, I decided to merge 10 photos of people walking in and out of the store and mask each of the customers in so that the store looked even more busy than it was. Since the sky was an ugly hazy gray I replaced it in Photoshops with the new SKY REPLACEMNT tool which is absolutely a lifesaver when editing exterior photographs.

The client also wanted two aerial cityscapes – one of Austin and one of San Antonio, and asked me to try to blend the two into one photograph. The composite image has Austin on the Left and San Antonio on the Right. And of course I added a pretty sky to the blended image.

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.

Architectural Photography for Students – Part 4
Architectural Photography for Students – Part 4
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.

Emulating the still life photographic style of Paulette Tavormina
Emulating the still life photographic style of Paulette Tavormina
One of my Westlake students for whom I am a photography mentor for the Independent Study Program at Westlake High School wanted to shoot a still life. I have always admired the work of Paulette Tavormina. Her fine art photography rises above the crowd of fine art photographers. Here is an example of her work.

My student, Jake and I moved some furniture around in my living room and built a black backdrop to cut out the ambient light. We lit the scene from several different angles with a Westcot mini strip light and painted in the lit areas in Photoshop.

Converting the Living room for a Studio Portrait
Converting the Living room for a Studio Portrait makes you think about setting up a permanent studio somewhere. I did this for my Westlake High School mentee, Krishan so he could learn the basics of portrait photography. Our set up was a 3 point lighting setup – a main light, back light and a bounce card for the fill light. Skylar was our model from San Marcos.
