A well-appointed bath adds a comforting touch to any home, contributing to an overall peaceful atmosphere.

Good photography is essential in capturing the carefully considered design of these intimate spaces.

When photographing baths, my main focus is creating a bright and relaxed mood that draws the viewer into the scene.

Paying special attention to the small details, whether it be the wall treatments, tiling, sconces or hardware, I strive to compose a dynamic image that brings all of the essential elements to life.

Working with the added dimension of radiant daylight, my portraits bring the room to life, allowing the viewer to truly experience the intended design and atmosphere of the space.

Below are some examples of my bath and powder room photography. Please take a look and keep me in mind for any design project that requires high-quality photography.

As kitchens are often the focal point of the home, it’s important that good kitchen design be represented by professional photography.

If you want your work to stand out and get noticed, having high-quality imagery is a must.

Below are two kitchens I recently photographed for Mid-Continent Cabinetry that show four different views, each adding to the viewer’s sense of  “space”. It’s important to feature an overall view or perhaps two, accompanied by at least three tighter shots e.g., vignettes and details to show a complete understanding of the overall design and functionality of any kitchen.

The overall shot gives the viewer a sense of the space and the tighter detailed shots bring the viewer into the room, allowing one to experience the design and atmosphere of the kitchen as it’s intended.

You can read all about it here.  The Vilna Shul

As a photographer lucky enough to shoot the Vilna Shul, I wanted to capture its timeless beauty. Seems easy some might say, but the Vilna shows signs of almost a century of use, and weathered buildings can be a challenge to photograph.

It really was a treat to stand inside and feel the history all around me. The ceilings are high, approx twenty feet, and strategically placed skylights allow for ample amounts of soft light. Some of the features that immediately jumped out at me were the chandeliers, the stained glass and the murals, some of which are still being discovered underneath many years and layers of paint. Other interesting features that caught my eye included members’ plaques, pickle barrels, and an original turn of the century stove.

An interesting anecdote: the eternal light above the ark shines through two hands, each forming the letter shin as a Kohanim would. Leonard Nimoy, aka “Spock” of Star Trek fame, grew up in Boston’s West End and visited the Vilna Shul as a child. Legend has it he conceived his character’s legendary “live long and prosper” Vulcan salute by mimicking the hands.
