Photographing Architecture

PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY IS ADDED VALUE FOR ARCHITECTURE

Communication begins from an intentional photographer's look on an architecture project to make it first attractive and intelligible then.

During a long professional career, David has worked for many different clients that use his imagery on their communications, marketing and public relations: they include renowned publishing and architecture firms, magazines, public corporations, fashion luxury brands, museums, universities, real estate, developers, strategic marketing, industrial and engineering and all kind of architecture & the built environment related companies.

David has twice been placed as a finalist in the European Architectural Photography Prize.

Photographing World Heritage

architecture masterpieces from the past

Photographing architectural heritage is no different from photographing contemporary architecture: the goal in both cases is to look for and synthesize the elements that make a work of architecture a masterpiece that lasts over time.

David has photographed some UNESCO World Heritage Sites on the effort of communicating the works of architects like Antoni Gaudí and Lluís Domènech i Montaner. 

Photographing Retail Architecture

From Peter Marino to Loewe

Coherence with both the architect’s intent and the spirit of the brand are the two main aspects that you have to always consider when photographing luxury retail architecture on flagship stores and shopping malls. Finding a proper balance between the architect’s style marks and the completely unique brand’s corporate identity is the key.

David has photographed Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Armani, Dior boutiques in major cities of the world like New York, Paris, London, Rome and Milan for the office of Peter Marino Architect PLLC.

Photographing Loewe

a lively and vibrant color atmosphere

Spanish luxury fashion house Loewe is opening a series of new revamped stores all over the world that feature neat minimalist spaces and powerful colors in the spirit of the brand.

These openings that have already brought me to many cities like Paris, London, Berlin, Amsterdam, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Marbella, Abu Dhabi and so on traveling with my camera on assignment to portray a new and daring global store concept.

Photographing Urban Landscape

Finding the simplest plastic qualities on the continuously changing and rapidly transforming urban landscape is what makes the city a fascinating subject for architectural photography. Contemporary architecture is essentially graphic and truly determined in the way it dialogues with the urban landscape.

David's architectural photography work has been recognized with a honorable mention on the Cityscapes category on the 2013 International Photography Awards.

Photographing The City

a graphic counterpoint

The city we see today is a set of layers of reality that time deposits on it. Most of the time we photograph the last one, that of contemporary architecture: is it not possible to portray the less visible layers as well?

Architectural photography is a committed art: its primary mission is to subtly disclose reality to express a new vision of the the city in the strongest possible way to reveal its unique essence in a direct, simple and daringly bold way.

Photographing Antoni Gaudí

David has been commissioned to photograph some works by Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí for the communication of the companies that manage the buildings, most of them listed in the catalog of UNESCO’s World Heritage sites.

The connection between Gaudí and Barcelona determines that the photographs are continuously published on the internet and social networks and are potentially visible anywhere in the world anytime of the day.
