A wonderfully contemplative exhibit, the French Pavilion reviewed movement of modern architecture and its ‘Real’ impact on the people of the time…did they find it disappointing?

So much of what we do is about process…..the owner of the Equinox gallery contemplates the layout for an upcoming exhibition. Our process during this project for Measured Architecture saw us grow to familiarity with the space; the beautiful variety of light within and the balance between the muted tones of the industrial ceiling hovering […]

My architectural photography work has been recognized with an honorable mention in the Deeper Perspective category in the Lucie Foundation’s 2013 International Photography Awards.
