Building your images
Our work as commercial architecture photographers focuses on capturing the essence of spaces, enhancing layouts, architectural lines and brand identities. Thanks to our technical mastery of framing, management of natural and artificial lighting, and particular attention to the details of decoration and materials, we create visuals that sublimate the functionality and aesthetics of a space. Whether for boutiques, shop windows or commercial spaces, each image tells a story consistent with the company’s communication strategy.
Window display
Window photography is designed to showcase a store’s products and visual identity, while capturing the visual impact of the sales space.
Going beyond the simple image of a store, this type of photography takes care of perspective and reflection management to offer a faithful and attractive presentation of window displays. Used for advertising campaigns, catalogs or websites, it reinforces the impact of merchandising and the brand’s visual communication.
Our retail photography approach optimizes product visibility, while enhancing the unique atmosphere of the store, creating a strong visual connection with the public.
Merchandising & POS
Merchandising and POS (point-of-sale advertising) photography is designed to enhance the layout of products and the effectiveness of communication media in the sales space.
Much more than a simple snapshot, this type of photography highlights the coherence between point-of-sale design, displays and brand identity. Used in catalogs, marketing presentations or analysis reports, it highlights the visual impact of POS elements and their influence on the shopping experience.
This photographic approach maximizes the effectiveness of sales strategies by highlighting the way products are displayed and perceived, while reinforcing the cohesion between the brand and its consumers.
Retail & Office
Photography of commercial and office interiors is designed to capture the atmosphere and design of professional spaces, while highlighting their functionality and identity.
Going beyond simple visual documentation, this type of photography focuses on the optimization of spaces, the quality of fittings and the comfort they provide. Used for corporate publications, real estate presentations or communication campaigns, it highlights the ergonomics and aesthetics of work spaces or common areas not dedicated to sales.
This photographic approach reflects a company’s brand image, while illustrating a modern, harmonious and stimulating working environment for employees and visitors alike.
Worksites & Site supervision
Construction progress photography is designed to document each key stage of construction or renovation, while highlighting the progress of architectural projects.
More than a simple snapshot, this type of photography highlights the rigor of processes, the coordination between different trades and the evolution of structures. Used in site reports, milestone presentations to investors or internal communications, it offers a clear, detailed vision of how work is progressing.
This photographic approach makes it possible to monitor project progress in real time, while ensuring visual traceability, a guarantee of transparency and professionalism in site management.
Lifestyle Architecture
Lifestyle architecture photography is designed to capture the symbiosis between architectural spaces and the way they are experienced on a daily basis, highlighting the interaction between design and lifestyle.
Going beyond simple structural representation, this type of photography incorporates human and contextual elements to illustrate how users interact with space. Used in design magazines, advertising campaigns or architects’ portfolios, it creates an emotional connection by showing living, inspiring environments.
This photographic approach enhances the aesthetics and functionality of spaces, while telling a visual story that reflects the human experience, fluid use and conviviality of architecture.
Deliverables
Our high-definition photographs are specially designed for a variety of professional uses. Whether for advertising campaigns, online shop windows, trade magazine publications or to enhance your website, our images offer optimum quality. Files are delivered in high resolution, suitable for large-format printing or digital use.
