In Atlanta, we are blessed with some superb architectural design. Most of that work is, however, relatively new, as compared to some other major metropolitan cities like Chicago, Phillidelphia, New York, etc. We don’t share the celebrated ‘old’ architecture of these cities, and it is rare that you’ll see something the reaches back even 50 years in Atlanta, despite its nearly 170 year history. There are, however, a select few examples that were built and have been well-maintained, but they are a very select few.
One of these such examples is the magnificent Candler Building in downtown Atlanta. Built in 1906 by architect George Murphy and the building’s namesake, Coca-Cola magnate, Asa Candler, the building was once Atlanta’s tallest. Elements of brass, marble, mahogany, and Tiffany crystal were all handcrafted by a select group of international artists, and the stunning lobbies and elaborately-carved facade are all tributes to the world’s leaders in arts and sciences.
We recently photographed some of the interior spaces of this gem, and hand an absolute blast there. Here are some images from the shoot. Let us know what you think!
A good bit of the projects we work on are residential in nature, but we do work on quite a few commercial projects also. They tend to afford a different kind of creativeness in how we approach the shoot. (Nerdy photographer’s translation: We get to mess with a ton of lights and make stuff look really cool.)
Here are some images from another shoot with Kade Commercial Construction. They were hired by Rogers Electric to create some commercial bath spaces for their employees at one of their Atlanta locations, and Kade knocked it out of the park, again. No matter the project or the size, Kade produces great work. Can’t wait until our next shoot!
Have a great week, and let us know what you think!
Clean, bright, playful, unassuming… and no, I’m not describing myself, ladies. Just some words that come to mind when looking at Leah Atkins Design’s latest work. It is so much fun working with creatives. Sometimes it is not the process that matters, but the aesthetic created is paramount. The process could be jagged, contrary, or direct, but the image of the final product always directs that process. I love, love, love working through that process, and especially when I get to work with people like Leah. If you haven’t seen her work, check her out…

Vickery, Vickery, Vickery… You are so much fun to photograph… Not enough time in the day to shoot all of your details… Until next time, Vickery…
Thanks to Tobi Pomerance for this modern Craftsman in Vickery Village. As is the case with so many homes in Vickery, this home has simply beautiful contemporary mixed with subtle traditional elements throughout. Open floor plans on each level connect living spaces and connect people. There is such practicality in all of the homes there, and each contains unique subtleties each it’s own that no home is the same. No cookie-cutter homes here…
Enjoy, and let us know what you think!
