How do you shoot an office that's not finished yet?

Same as any other day.

Sheldon Interiors brought me in to shoot their new FujiFilm fitout in North Sydney, the day before handover. Contractors were still finishing touch ups while FujiFilm's team walked the floor.

Not ideal but nothing unusual in the life of an architecture photographer.

Politely move people along, find the angle, get the shot, keep moving.

None of that shows up in the final images though. All anyone sees is a finished space that looks exactly as considered as it was designed to.

Sheldon had already done the hard part. I just had to catch it properly.

Thanks to Sheldon for having me shoot the project.

Stoked to be shortlisted in The Photographer – Commercial category at this year's INDE Awards. Indesign Magazine 🙌

First time entering, and it's a big deal that the Image Makers Association Australia has created dedicated categories for photographers in the built environment. Long overdue.

My photos of The First Building in Bradfield City up against 11 other projects across Asia Pacific. Humbling to be alongside some of the best in the region.

Thanks to Bradfield Development Authority, Hassell and Djinjama for such an epic project to document. See you in Melbourne. 🏆

Client: 'Do we want the students in the shots?'

Photographer: 'Teenagers? I don't know. They're moody at the best of times.'

There's always this question on whether to have people in architectural photos. Including them depends on what you need to get out of the images.

People give a building scale. They show how a space is actually used. And for education projects especially, they bring warmth and life that empty corridors just can't deliver.

But teenagers? They're not models. Most of them don't want to be photographed. And their interactions when paired with someone they don't know, can be (amusingly) awkward.

On this shoot at for , I got lucky. A teacher on break agreed to step into a few frames. Sometimes the best shots come from who happens to be available and willing, not from a casting brief.

My recommendation: plan for both. Shoot the architecture clean first, then bring people in. One shoot, two libraries.
And working with teens? As most parents know, just go with the flow. 😆
