Experimental Night Photography


As digital technologies have evolved we are routinely testing the limits of our cameras and exploring the myriad of options now available to us via digital photography and photoshop.

These photographs are from one of Allen's recent shoots for Barnes Vanze Architects. Using photoshop, classic lighting techniques and two types of cameras: an old view camera with a digital adapter and a new digital view camera, he was able to capture this Virginia vineyard house at night. Each photograph is made up of several exposures and took a total of about 3 hours to capture, not including setup!

New Client BBG-BBGM

Judy Davis recently shot the Westin in Virginia Beach for BBG-BBGM. Exterior photography took important consideration so as to highlight the Town Center aspect with surrounding views. We also photographed the Lobby, late night of course. One aspect of photographing interiors in a busy reception area is that we sometimes have to accomplish this task from 10pm until dawn. Come join us, these kinds of shoots are always fun!


BBG-BBGM provided the architectural design of this mixed-use project in the Town Center of Virginia Beach. The tower is designed to emphasize the verticality of the form, yet to reflect the change in uses from the hotel on the lower floors to the typical residential floors, finally to the four floors of high-end luxury residential and the residents’ social room at the apex.
