Working Out the Details of Architecture ~ Reis and Hatch Perspective

    

Jon Reis' vision for all-encompassing wide angles combined with Dede Hatch's eye for detail and abstraction make them the perfect architectural photography team. This image of the MDSzerbaty+Associates design for Cornell University's Catherwood Library showcases Hatch's interest in turning architectural elements into ambiguous objects through use of texture, light, and perspective. Not only do we provide accurate photographic depictions of the architectural design, but we also draw attention to the more subtle beauties of the structure through combining documentation with artistic vision.    

Social Media Marketing & Self Perception

Social media has become an important platform for connecting with current and potential clientele. In place of her previous, standard staff photo, this Cornell professor wanted a personal, modern look instead to suite her social media presence.  No matter your preferences, Jon Reis Photography is ready to produce a portrait that meets your goals and makes you look your best. Whether it be for a company website, social media page, or promotion, your business portrait is key to representing yourself online and in print.

Showcasing Architectural Building Design

The Brian C. Nevin Welcome Center at the Cornell Plantations has an energy efficient design that calls for an innovative photographic vision to match. Through exaggerating this angle, the gold LEED certified wooden slats are brought to attention. Through a number of professional techniques, Jon Reis Photography highlights the most important qualities of a building design while also providing a detailed depiction of the architect's design.

Landscape Lighting

Jon Reis Photography guarantees to make your landscape architecture stand out through highlighting the best features of your design. Perspective plays an important role in the depiction of the Martha Van Rensselaer Hall landscape on the Cornell University campus by drawing the viewer's focus to the color and texture in the foreground. The composition of the image then leads the eye to the dynamic curve of the structure. Backlighting is also used to create a halo-like effect on the greenery and students to set the serene mood of the photograph. High quality images are crucial to attractively representing a landscape artcitect's design and ensuring that your work shines amongst the rest.

Editorial Photographer at work in Ithaca, New York

Taking on an environmental portrait or location portrait is always a fun challenge.  You do not know what the person looks like or whether the location will be a help or a hinderance. In this portrait of Craig Street, who is a plasterer who mixes pigment into the plaster and is also a music producer , I needed to convey that he is a master of his trade.  On the phone I asked him to bring a tool and then upon arriving at the historic mansion in which he was working the light cooperated to give the editorial photo both design and texture. The editor of the magazine loved it.
I normally don't like dappled light coming through leaves of trees or hard shadows but in this case I broke my own rules and it worked. The old glass of the window caused the light to shimmer on the red pigmented plaster wall and the hanging light fixture adds interest.  The hat and shirt choice was his. Thanks Craig.
