Independent studio for the built environment, for more than a decade.

Maximilian Sydow has photographed architecture independently since 2010, with a focus on correct lines, controlled light, and drone-capable aerial work.

The architecture studio in Munich's Isarvorstadt handles commissions in Munich, across Bavaria, and internationally, for architecture firms, developers, interior designers, and hospitality brands. About the studio →

Where real estate photography aims at a quick sale, architectural photography works for publication, competition, and documentation. Converging lines are corrected during capture; daylight is mixed with set artificial light.
