Andrew Lee has been photographing architecture and exhibitions for over twenty-five years.

His photographs document both the physical and spatial elements of the designs, and the human behaviours and interactions that they support and encourage.

Andrew understands his clients' particular requirements and preferences, ensuring that the ideas and principles that underlie their work are conveyed in the photographs.

He is a graduate of The Glasgow School of Art’s Fine Art Photography Department and is represented in the collections of Princeton University Art Museum and the National Galleries of Scotland.

Approach

Commissions are generally agreed in detail in advance with reference to plans, visualisations, progress shots and a site visit. Objectives, opportunities and constraints are discussed, and a definitive shot list is identified before any photographs are taken.

For architectural photographs, the camera typically remains in place for one to two hours, allowing elements of the scene to be recorded at different times. During post-production, these elements are edited and reassembled to present the viewer with an "extended moment" in the life of the subject.

Client-directed shoots are more common in museum and exhibition settings.

Technical

A 60MP Phase One IQ160 digital back is used used to capture all photographs, mounted on either a Linhof M679cs or Phase One 645DF. The former allows all optical corrections to be performed in-camera.

A tethered approach is always adopted, allowing precise compositional decisions to be made at full-resolution.
