An elevator lobby at Clark Tower.

Marble floor, wood panelling, three ring pendants down the middle. A corridor most people walk through without looking up.

Spaces like this are deceptive to shoot. Long, narrow, and lit by three or four different colour temperatures at once. You pick one and make everything else agree with it.

100 Humphreys, East Memphis. Medical office, shot for CBRE.

Curved precast with a porte-cochere out front. There's usually one angle where the curve actually reads as a curve and the entry doesn't fall into shadow. This was it.

Another suite at Clark Tower.

Charcoal reception wall with the tenant marks on it, white seating in front, and the workstations behind glass so you can see straight through to the windows. Black exposed ceiling, which leaves the light fittings to do the work.

A reception area gets about two seconds to tell you what kind of company this is. This one manages it.

100 Peabody Place, downtown Memphis. For CBRE.

The tower from the corner, and one of the corridors upstairs — that slat wall runs most of the floor, with the conference rooms glazed on the other side.

Downtown towers are tight to shoot from the street. You work out where you can actually stand, then come back when the light is on that face.

41 finished photos.

The stair at Clark Tower.

A full wall of veined marble behind an open steel stair, lit from one side.
Nobody photographs a stairwell, because it isn't leasable square footage. But it's often the thing that tells you what kind of building you're standing in.

For CBRE.

What I actually shoot.

Commercial is most of it. Offices, industrial, retail, land. But the architects and designers are a real part of the work, and so is the occasional house that deserves it.
If you aren't sure which bucket your project falls in, send it over anyway and I'll tell you straight.

7865 Educators Lane, Bartlett. Shot for CBRE.

I'd driven past this building a few times before the shoot, and the tree out front was the whole reason to wait for October. Glass picks up whatever is around it, so you may as well give it something worth reflecting.

36 photos delivered, plus the video.

1 — the main lobby
2 — CBIZ 3 — Make-A-Wish Mid-South, where the whole wall is wishes kids have written out
4 — the arches, from outside

Twelve tenants and spec suites, plus the exterior and the drone work, all on the same day. 102 finished photos.

The planning is most of the job on one like this. You build a route through the building so every space gets shot while its own windows are lit, rather than whenever you happen to reach it.

More from this one over the next few weeks.

Got on site, starting taking photos from the left corner... then straight on... then the right corner... then it started raining.

Sometimes the weather doesn't cooperate but other times it holds out just long enough to get the shot you need.

Downtown Memphis, 24 floors up. Corner offices, conference rooms and the kind of window line that sells a lease on its own.

Shot for the leasing team, delivered in three business days.
