Lauren Whitney Photography Details
Photographing and documenting architecture is not just my passion, it is my purpose and responsibility. There is no doubt in my mind that this is what I'm meant to do, other than being a wife and mother. I don't just photograph architecture, it's deeper than that. I become curious, I research, ask questions, learn about what I'm about to or already have photographed. Which is also a passion, I want to learn as much as I can, I respect and love architecture too much not to know and understand what I'm photographing.I've always been a curious person, wanting to understand something, why something was built and who are the people who built it.I focus on capturing not only my interpretation but also the architects or the sole purpose of the building, to highlight its beautiful story. I do not just photograph building exteriors and interiors, I learn about the history, the architect, along with the location in why something may have been built there. I love learning and figuring out why something happened; there is a purpose in everything, and in everything we have to "house" those people.I'm always looking for an opportunity to be transparent. My areas of focus are all types of architecture for many different kinds of purposes. My clients are all types too. Whether that is photographing a building for preservation purposes or capturing a building for commercial purposes. I enjoy working with architects, builders, preservationists, historians and art enthusiasts. And of course, the opportunity to show my work to whoever is interested is always welcome.
