Working ALL the Right Angles ~ Reis and Hatch Perspective

By combining Dede Hatch's eye for detail and abstraction with Jon Reis' wide angle views, every essential aspect of your architectural design can be captured and examined by potential clientele. Hatch says, "I like pictures that ask questions rather than provide answers." Through this vision, hidden details like this cabinet surface are highlighted while full-view images are used in tandem to illustrate the overall structure.

Strategic Lighting for Architecture Assignments

Jon Reis Photography captures light emerging from the embedded glass block on Cornell's Ives Hall through employing professional lighting techniques. Rather than waiting for darkness to fall, we set up lights behind the glass to make the architectural design glow. We consider every detail during the shoot from adding extra lighting to avoiding obtrusive objects in order to make each component work towards creating an appealing illustration of the structure.

Building Design & Environment

Taken before the Ithaca City Courthouse acquired damages and closed down its bridge, this image is impossible to capture today and was certainly tricky to shoot at the time. A 4x5 film view camera was lowered downward on a rope with a long exposure time to soften the water, resulting in a beautiful view of the architecture at dusk. Jon Reis Photography utilizes his numerous years of professional experience to dynamically illustrate the structure, no matter the obstacles.
