Photography That Reveals the Design Behind the Space

Karen Images creates architectural photography for architects, developers, construction companies, property managers, interior designers and marketing teams throughout Atlanta, Georgia and beyond.

From exterior architecture and interior spaces to hospitality, multifamily developments, commercial properties and aerial perspectives, we create photographs that communicate not only what a space looks like, but the design, materials, craftsmanship and experience that define it.

The goal is more than documenting a building. It is creating imagery that helps tell the story behind the architecture.

Architecture From Every Perspective

Great architectural photography is about more than finding the right angle. Light, materials, scale, surroundings and the way people experience a space all contribute to the story.

Karen Images creates comprehensive architectural image libraries that can document a property from multiple perspectives.

Karen Images creates multifamily architectural photography for developers, architects, construction companies, property managers and marketing teams, providing imagery for portfolios, leasing, marketing, public relations, award submissions and future development presentations.

FEATURED PROJECT

One Porsche Drive – Atlanta, Georgia

Architecture, Brand & Experience

One Porsche Drive is more than a corporate headquarters. The architecture, interiors and branded environments were designed to create an experience that reflects Porsche from the moment someone enters the property.

Karen Images photographed One Porsche Drive during its grand opening, documenting the architecture alongside the people, details and activity that brought the new corporate environment to life. The resulting imagery captured not only the finished property, but how the space was experienced and used.

Great architectural photography documents the design. A complete visual story shows what happens within it.

BUILT ENVIRONMENT

McShane Construction – Savannah, Georgia

Industrial Architecture Built for Logistics

Industrial architecture has a different story to tell. Scale, access, infrastructure and the relationship between a facility and its surroundings are as important to the finished project as the building itself.

McShane Construction brought Karen Images to Savannah, Georgia to photograph a bonded warehouse development serving the Port of Savannah.

The assignment required imagery that communicated the scale and character of the completed development while creating a professional visual record for the construction company’s portfolio and marketing.

ARCHITECTURAL PHOTOGRAPHY FAQ
Planning an Architectural Photography Assignment

Planning architectural photography often involves more than choosing a photographer. Shot priorities, timing, property access, aerial imaging, licensing and how the finished photographs will be used can all affect the assignment. Here are answers to some of the questions we hear from architects, developers, builders and marketing teams planning architectural photography in Atlanta and beyond.

Karen Images photographs commercial architecture, corporate environments, multifamily developments, hospitality and entertainment spaces, retail properties, industrial facilities and other completed construction projects.

Assignments can include exterior architecture, interiors, amenities, design details and aerial perspectives, allowing the finished image library to document both the overall property and the details that define the project.

Karen Images works with architects, developers, construction companies, property managers, interior designers, marketing teams and other organizations that need professional photography of completed projects.

The photographs may be created for company portfolios, websites, proposals, leasing and marketing materials, public relations, award submissions, presentations and future business development.

A useful architectural photography shot list identifies the views and spaces that are most important to the story of the project. That may include key exterior elevations, entrances, interior spaces, amenities, architectural details, landscaping and aerial perspectives.

Karen Images can work with your team before the assignment to identify priorities and plan the photography around both the property itself and how the finished images will be used.

Yes. Many architectural assignments include both exterior and interior photography.

Photographing the complete property allows us to document the relationship between the building, its interior environments, materials, details and the way people experience the space. Depending on the project, the finished image library may include broad establishing views as well as smaller architectural and design details.

Yes. Aerial photography can provide perspectives that are difficult to communicate from ground level, including the scale of a development, its location, surrounding environment and relationship to nearby infrastructure.

When appropriate for the property, Karen Images can incorporate aerial imaging into the architectural photography assignment so the aerial and ground-level photographs work together as part of the same visual library.

Yes. Completed-project photography is an important part of our architectural work.

Karen Images creates image libraries that help architects, developers and construction companies document finished projects and communicate their work through websites, portfolios, proposals, public relations, award submissions and future project presentations.

The McShane Construction, Marand Builders and other projects featured on this page are examples of that type of work.

Licensing is based on the needs of the assignment and the organizations that will use the photographs.

Before the project, we can discuss the intended uses of the images and establish appropriate licensing for the commissioning client’s portfolio, marketing and communications. If architects, designers, contractors or other project partners also need to use the photography, additional licensing can be discussed for those organizations as part of the project planning.

Yes. Karen Images is based in Atlanta and photographs architectural projects throughout Georgia and beyond.

For projects outside the Atlanta area, travel requirements can be incorporated into the planning and estimate for the assignment. The McShane Construction warehouse assignment in Savannah is one example of Karen Images traveling to document a completed development for a client.
