BeforeAfter

This project started in 2021 for me. I was asked to shoot the “befores” architectural photography by longtime client and friends at the Humanities Foundation and James Doran Company.  I was given the lock codes, and keys to the entire building and shot very methodically with hopes of placing the camera in the same spot when the project was completed. I have done this a few times over the years and it is an interesting challenge.  The before image was shot in August of 2021, and the after was shot in July 2024! Enjoy!
