Architecture reveals itself over time. Light moves across a building throughout the day, materials shift with the seasons, and the surrounding landscape gradually becomes part of how the structure is experienced.
Because of this, photographing architecture is rarely a single visit. Returning to a project at different times of day or during different seasons often reveals aspects of the design that would otherwise go unnoticed. These observations allow the final imagery to reflect not only the building itself, but how it lives within its environment.
Often the process begins well before the building is complete. Visiting a project during construction provides an opportunity to understand the site, observe how the architecture is being inserted into its surroundings, and begin shaping the visual narrative of the work.
Documenting key stages of a project can also strengthen collaboration between architects, designers, and builders. When multiple teams are involved in shaping a project, it often creates opportunities to share both the storytelling and the investment in producing the imagery.
Many of the projects I document evolve through ongoing collaboration with design teams based in Toronto, Ottawa, and throughout the Greater Toronto Area, working together to photograph projects across Ontario.
