Great Images Deliver Real Results

  • Win the Next ProjectA client chooses an architect or designer from their portfolio. The quality of the photos directly impacts their decision. When the commission is worth millions, the images that win it can't be anything less than exceptional.
  • Increase Hotel BookingsA guest can't visit before they book. They experience the hotel through the photos. The images have to create an emotional impact, make the viewer feel they want to be there, so strongly that they follow through and book.
  • Made for Print and PublicationBooks, magazines, award entries, a double page spread. The images are made for that from the start, not stretched to fit later.

Then we can talk a little bit about the architectural photography itself.

Clients often choose an architect or designer based on the strength of their portfolio. The quality of the photography directly shapes that decision. I deliver images that showcase your design intent with clarity, helping you secure future commissions, award submissions and publication features. Every project begins with careful planning. I study how natural light moves through a space throughout the day, select the strongest angles and produce a set of images capture how the space feels, not just how it looks.

I focus on clean lines, balanced composition and the way light interacts with materials to reveal texture and depth. All images are delivered in high resolution, colour-accurate and ready for portfolios, print media and digital platforms. You get a streamlined workflow, consistent results and imagery that truly reflects the standard of your work.

For the Canadian Embassy Residence in Vienna, I worked to strict guidelines from the embassy to document the Head of Mission residence. See the Canadian Embassy Residence project.

Key points
  • The building as the architect envisaged it
  • Residential and commercial, inside and out
  • Portfolio, press, awards submissions

Interiors are about how a space feels to be in, and that's what the photographs have to carry: the materials, the way the rooms connect, the light at the right time of day. I photograph interiors for interior designers and architects, styled and composed with you on the day. Months, even years, of design work, shown in a few considered frames.

Clients often choose a designer on the strength of a portfolio, so these photographs are your most direct sales tool. They bring in enquiries from your website and social media, support submissions to magazines and awards and work for many years to come.

For Interior Eclectics, a UK interior design studio, I photographed a finished project and made the film of it, so their portfolio and their website tell the same story. See the Interior Eclectics project.

Key points
  • How the space feels to be in
  • Styled and composed with you on the day
  • Portfolio, website, publications, awards submissions

A hotel sells a feeling before it sells a room. The photographs have to make someone on the other side of the world want to be there: the room they'll wake up in, the restaurant, the light in the lobby. I photograph hotels and hospitality with consistency across the whole property, for the booking pages, website and social media.

For hotels, restaurants and venues, photographs carry much of the decision at the moment of booking. Guests compare options side by side on booking platforms, in search results and on social media, and the images do most of the persuading. A complete, consistent set also serves your own website, press features, event sales brochures and advertising, so the same shoot supports direct bookings and the wider brand.

Hospitality shoots happen in working buildings, so I plan the schedule with your team around check-outs, service times and the light in each space. Rooms are prepared and styled before they are photographed, and scenes with guests or staff can be added to bring the spaces to life, with models organised by me or by you. If you need food and drink photography or a short film as well, they can be planned and quoted as part of the same production.

For The Social Hub Vienna, I photographed the rooms across the hotel in one consistent look, to their exacting standards. See The Social Hub Vienna project.

Key points
  • The room they'll wake up in
  • Consistent across the whole property
  • Booking pages, brand, press

Why Architects, Designers and Hotels Work With Me

You're not hiring a camera operator. You're hiring someone who has photographed a lot of exceptional spaces and knows what to do with yours.

  • Years of Experience with Luxury Properties and ArchitectureI've photographed luxury homes, commercial buildings and hotels across Austria, Europe and the UK. I know what to photograph and how, and the work speaks for itself.
  • Leave Me to It, or Follow Every FrameSome clients hand me the keys. Others stay for the day, follow the images on an iPad, help with the styling and sign off each frame as we go. Both work.
  • Photo and Motion, One LookStills and film from one person, so the photographs and the project film match. Interior Eclectics is one example.
  • Published and Entered for AwardsMy images have appeared in books and magazines and in award entries. They're made to hold up at that size.
  • Post-Production Done In HouseEvery image is finished by me: exposure blending, compositing, colour, perspective, distractions removed. Often it takes as long as the shot itself. That's where the quality comes from.

What's Included

Image licensing is agreed in the estimate and written into your offer.

Request an offer

Every Project Includes:

  • the call, the scope and a cost estimate with licensing
  • a shoot day planned around your shot list
  • styling and composition with you on the day
  • live preview on an iPad
  • all post-production in house, with a round of revisions
  • print and web versions of every final image
  • all professional equipment

As the Project Grows:

  • a meeting with the project team
  • location scout and light study
  • several shoot days for larger properties
  • shared licensing for contractors, suppliers and partners
  • a project film, planned and quoted separately

How It Works

The process I send every client, in short.

Phase 1

Enquiry and Estimate

  • A call about your project
  • Floor plans, renders, phone photos
  • Cost estimate, licensing included

We start with a call, from the basics (the project, the type of space, the address) to how you'd like it to look. Anything you already have helps me scope it: floor plans, sketches, renders, photos from your phone. You then get a cost estimate covering pre-production, the shoot, post-production and licensing, so there's nothing hidden.

Phase 2

Pre-Production

  • Features to highlight agreed
  • Location scout and light study on larger projects

For smaller projects, the first call is usually enough. For larger ones, we meet with the project team and go through the plans and renders: the key design ideas, how the space is used, what has to be in the pictures. On larger commercial projects I scout the location beforehand and study how the light moves through the building over a day, which sets the shoot schedule.

Phase 3

Shoot Day

  • Walk through first thing
  • Styling and composition, frame by frame
  • Live preview on an iPad

A shoot day runs 8 to 10 hours, depending on the shot list. We walk the space together first, then build each shot: composition, furniture, styling, light. The camera is linked to an iPad, so you see every image as it's made and sign off the framing and styling as we go. If you can't be there, I work from the brief.

Phase 4

Post-Production and Delivery

  • Post-production in house
  • Your review and revisions
  • Print and web versions delivered

Every image is finished by me, then sent to you for review, with revisions and extra retouching as needed. Standard turnaround is about 2 weeks, faster if we've agreed it before the shoot. You get 2 versions of every final image: full resolution for print and publications, and a web version.

I'm absolutely delighted with the photos for my new practice website. The shoot included individual portraits, team photos, action shots, and architectural photography, everything was executed with great professionalism and a fantastic eye for detail.

It was especially convenient that we could follow the images live on an iPad during the shoot. This allowed us to immediately select favourites and make minor adjustments on the spot.

The atmosphere was pleasant, relaxed, and highly professional. The result is a collection of natural, expressive photos that perfectly capture the character of my practice. Thank you so much for the outstanding work!

FAQ

Interior and architecture photography in Vienna, answered

The questions architects, designers and hotels ask before a shoot.

Each project is estimated on its own: the size of the space, the number of images, how many days we need, pre-production such as a location scout, and how the images will be licensed. You get a clear cost estimate after our first call, with nothing hidden.

It's up to you. Many clients stay for the day, follow the images on an iPad and sign off each frame. Others hand me the keys and the brief. Either way you get the same standard of work.

A typical shoot day is 8 to 10 hours, depending on the shot list. Large properties and hotels can take more than one day.

Standard turnaround is about 2 weeks after the shoot. If you need them sooner, tell me before the shoot and we plan for it.

Yes. Builders, kitchen makers, furniture suppliers and other partners on a project often want the same images. Additional licences and cost sharing are built into the estimate.

We do it together on the day: furniture placement, props, the small things that make a room look lived in rather than staged. For larger productions a stylist can join us.

Yes. We plan the schedule around check out and check in, room by room, so guests are never in the way and the hotel keeps running.

Yes. Project films are a separate service, planned and quoted on their own, shot in the same look as the photographs.

English, my native language. Documents in German are no problem.

Yes. I photograph across Austria, Europe and the UK.
