Architectural Photography FAQ,s – Dan Sellers
Where are you based and what areas do you serve?
I am based in Dallas Texas and regularly work the DFW area and throughout Texas. And depending on the scope of the project outside of Texas.
Who do you typically work with?
My client base is quite varied but mostly work with;
- Architects
- Interior designers
- Builders and developers
- Marketing teams
- Hospitality and commercial property groups
Many of my clients are repeat collaborators who value consistency and experience.
What makes your architectural photography different?
With decades of experience, I understand both design and how to present it clearly. My approach is straightforward:
- Clean, accurate compositions
- Natural lighting when possible
- Attention to detail that reflects the client’s intent
I focus on images that are useful—not just dramatic.
Do you photograph both architecture and interiors?
Yes. I specialize in both architectural and interior photography, often photographing entire projects—from exterior establishing shots to detailed interior spaces.
How should I prepare for a photo shoot?
Preparation makes a big difference. I recommend:
- Final cleaning and staging
- Removing clutter and temporary items
- Ensuring all lighting is working
- Scheduling when natural light is best for the space
I’m happy to guide you beforehand so the shoot runs efficiently.
How is pricing structured?
Most projects are priced as a shoot fee plus licensing based on usage. This allows flexibility depending on how the images will be used—whether for a website, portfolio, or national campaign.
I’m always transparent about pricing and will work with you to match the scope of your project.
How long does a typical shoot take?
That depends on the size and complexity of the project.
- Small interiors: a few hours
- Larger commercial or architectural projects: a full day or more
We’ll plan the schedule in advance so expectations are clear.
When will we receive the images?
Final images are typically delivered within a few days to a week, depending on the project size. If you have a deadline, I can often accommodate faster delivery.
Can I use the images for marketing and social media?
Yes. Licensing is tailored to your needs and can include:
- Websites
- Social media
- Print marketing
- Editorial submissions
We’ll define usage clearly so you know exactly what you can do with the images.
Can images shared with others?
Yes if we know up front who. I offer a price sharing for all parties that makes it more budget friendly. We can structure this prior to a shoot.
Do you help with publication submissions?
Yes. I have experience creating images that are suitable for editorial use and can advise on what publications are looking for.
Why hire a professional architectural photographer instead of doing it in-house?
Professional photography communicates quality and attention to detail. Strong images can:
- Help win new clients
- Strengthen your brand
- Increase visibility online
- Improve your chances of publication
It’s often one of the best marketing investments you can make.
