The client needed a photo in 24 hours. The building wasn’t done yet and they needed to send a photo to a publication. It would eventually be used as the cover shot for an architectural magazine. The facility was littered with construction debris, tools and workers. The perimeter of the building was closed off by a chain link fence, taking away the best vantage point. I made my way around a ton of concrete pavers to find this little spot, I actually pushed the entire fence line back about a foot to get enough room to capture the entry way of the building. I wanted people to know what it was going to look like as they walked into the venue. Greeted by this incredible glass curtain. I had no time to edit the photo, so this photo is straight out of the camera, using an extremely dark filter to create a dramatic frame. This photo, although not perfect, is still one of my favorite and most published photos of all time. Knowing you don’t have time to edit, makes you really think and be creative.
