More from the Lewis Communications office in Mobile with architecture by Chambless King Architects. In a previous century, the building was an auto showroom. Today, it’s the most enviable office I have ever photographed.

Today I’m proud to announce the launch of Daybreak Directory. (Link in bio)

\n

It shouldn’t be hard to be found online without social media in 2025, but it is. For photographers and creatives, Instagram has become the default place to post work and get discovered. But over the last couple of years, it’s really lost its shine.

\n

Daybreak gives commercial photographers a new place to be found—off social media.

\n

The site currently features 80 photographers from across North America and around the world.

\n

If you’re a commercial photographer: Join us via the link on the site.
If you hire photographers: Come find your next collaborator on Daybreak.

Anniston Rehab. Architecture and Interiors by Birchfield Penuel Architects. Because I’m a photographer, wherever I go, I’m always attuned to the light. It’s rare to find good light in commercial buildings because they have so many other requirements in the design and construction. So I was delighted when I walked into this rehab facility in Anniston to see so many light-filled spaces. Not just as a photographer, but as a human spending a day inside there. Good light matters!

Fortif Law Office in Birmingham, Alabama. Architecture by Design Initiative. I just loved the renovation of this beautiful old building into a modern office. With no windows along the side walls, the design decisions that bring so much natural light to both top and middle floors while retaining the functionality of a law office is really clever. Plus, those ancient posts and beams cut from the original timber of this land are things of beauty. Getting to experience spaces like this one firsthand is one of the best perks of photographing architecture.

BPA Office by Birchfield Penuel Architects. This project won an AIA Honor Award in 2024. The transformation of this building from a nondescript facade to the most remarkable building on the street is…well, remarkable. It makes me happy every time I drive by it. The interior is just as great as the exterior! Thanks to @ltaylordixon for bringing me on to capture it and staying late to get the jack-o-lantern shot. If you want to read about the project (with befores and afters), visit the AIA Birmingham website and look at the Design Awards 2024. It’ll blow your mind.

Supertone. Architecture by David Baker Architects. A fitness space as Tron as you’ll find anywhere in America.

Last night Kaylee and I got to celebrate the great architecture in our city at the AIA Birmingham awards banquet. Photographing some of the designs which shape the public and private spaces in which we live, work, and play has been great fun and a real honor. IMO this was the most badass submission.

And then the sun dropped right into place, I pressed the shutter, and we were off to the next one. (Okay, I pressed the shutter a bunch of times, but you know what I mean.)

\n

This shoot was such a tight collaboration between me, Whitley, and @lindsfleege —who was the ultimate utility player all day. Lindsay’s eye and her sense of what the magazine wanted were essential. And of course, Whitley opened up her home, helped me move all her furniture around, and carried her surfboard back and forth across the garden until 💫 . Thank you! 🙏🏼

Small Towns Campaign for T-Mobile.

\n

Max and Alex are two brothers from Nashville who play music together and, for this day, were in our photo shoot. One of the reasons I love working with folks who have their thing and just happen to be in an ad campaign is that once they finish setting up their instruments, they can play an impromptu show! I have heard of photographers hiring a DJ to set the tone on set for pro athletes and celebrities. But a live rock band? Come on!

\n

Revolution Pictures—also from Nashville—did a bang-up job producing this campaign. We had crew from Nashville, Atlanta, New York, Birmingham, and places in between. REVO pulled all these folks together into a unit, which was no small feat. They are the best: Randy, Tameron, Kristen, Colton, and Jay. @revorandy, @bnabrowneyedgirl, @kristenouellette, @mcoltoncomeaux, @jayputnam_ THANK YOU.

Small Towns Campaign for T-Mobile.

\n

Last year I had the pleasure to photograph a campaign for T-Mobile as part of their focus on small towns and rural America. It was a 2-day project with a large crew, multiple locations, and many moving parts. It was right in my wheelhouse, but the scale was a level up from anything I had shot before. This was such a team effort, and so many people worked really hard to make the shoot a success. Thank y’all.

Product Photography for Google Fiber

My sweet spot these days is light that feels unlit but has a little +1 where it counts. This project was a great fit for that because you can light a product as a perfect piece of sculpture, but in the end it’s got a cord and a cable, and it’s going to sit on your shelf and deliver fast, wireless internet. It looks good up there, so let it!

It’s not always the case, but sometimes all a tight deadline needs is a small, exceptional team. I lit and shot the product, Ande pulled rabbits out of her hat (including that Toucan), Shannon made the right calls, Julia kept us upright, and Kristin got us from a-to-b. All in a lovely but very tight location.
