For a former architectural designer / outdoor scenic photographer,
the urban landscape provides an abundance of dynamic new material around
which to design a whole new style of photographs. I am compelled
by the diversity of Denver's urban design, variety of street-scapes
and evolving public spaces.
Recent commissions include work with various Denver firms,
including James Greenfield
Architects, Kung
Architecture, and
Kiewit Building Group; documenting
events for Fentress Architects; and
capturing delicious new restaurant interiors, including the brand
new Pho-Natic and the
recently remodeled Panzano at
the Hotel Monaco!!

Architectural

 Travel
into the mountains continues to be an essential (and beloved) part
of Merritt Design Photo's service, and this autumn season has been
one of the busiest in years with several photo shoots of gorgeous
contemporary architecture in Telluride and Aspen.
One Architects finished up several new projects
which I had the privilege of photographing, including this impeccably detailed
and creative adaptive re-use project in historic downtown
Telluride.

 "The
Architecture ... of Life"
Full disclosure: as an architect, I NEVER envisioned photographing
weddings. But... I have discovered that being chosen to capture
the intimacy and emotion of this once in a lifetime celebration to
be a nearly overwhelming joy and unique privilege.
I absolutely ADORE the process of getting to know my wedding
clients before their big day, and the extra effort has been paying
off immeasurably in an ease of intimacy that leads to the most
comfortable, emotional and joyful photographs.
Several lovely recent weddings will be added to the blog/website
any day... in the meantime, feel free to peruse here.

When Chef Elise Wiggins asked me to shoot the recently remodeled
Panzano restaurant interiors, I said, "Great!" but when she asked
me to photograph food... let's just say after my hesitation, the
conversation ended with her TELLING me I was doing the job!
After some frantic research on food photography (thanks to some
incredible culinary photographers I have had the pleasure of
meeting through Twitter), I decided to push the edges of my comfort
zone, and I went for it.
Several culinary shoots later and I
already can't wait for my next food assignment. Photographing
beautifully prepared food is creative, artful and greatly
satisfying (and one should never attempt it on an empty
stomach)!
