How does an architecture shoot work?

Pre-production with location scouting (sun position, light conditions, shadows), shooting over 1–3 days depending on object complexity, then selective post-production with vertical correction, light blending, and highlight recovery. Delivery as final TIFFs or full-resolution JPEGs.

What lead time is needed?

Optimal is 2–4 weeks because architecture photography is bound to time-of-day and weather. Last-minute shoots (competition deadlines, magazine submissions) are possible with an express surcharge.

Interior & Real Estate

Make value tangible.

Interior architecture, hospitality spaces, and high-end residential need a different visual language than a quick-sale brochure. We deliver imagery that carries materiality, light, and atmosphere — for interior designers, developers, and hotel operators in Bogenhausen, the Glockenbachviertel, and across Bavaria.

Plus certified UAV aerial work for urban context and large-scale projects — both as technical record and marketing asset.

Q&A

How does an architecture shoot actually work?

Briefing call to clarify the goal (competition, magazine, marketing) and time window. Location scout to determine sun position and light. Shooting over 1–3 days depending on object complexity. Selective post-production: vertical correction, light blending, highlight recovery. Delivery as final TIFFs.

Which usage rights are included?

Unlimited time and territory for the client's own marketing as standard (website, print, social, pitches). Third-party licensing to magazines, press, or sales is negotiated per project. Personality and brand rights of the owner remain untouched.

What lead time is ideal?

Two to four weeks is ideal because architecture photography is bound to time-of-day and weather. Last-minute shoots for competition deadlines or magazine submissions are possible, with an express surcharge.

Do you work outside Munich?

Yes. Commissions are accepted across Bavaria, the DACH region, and worldwide — especially for hospitality architecture, high-end residential, and international magazine features. Travel is quoted per project.
