Chris Dalton is an experienced, London-based Architectural Photographer, with a passion for capturing the built environment. Coming from a 15-year professional background as an Architect (ARB/RIBA), he understands buildings inside out - from an Architect’s conceptual design through to construction packages and product specifications.
His Architectural Photography has been published globally, as seen in outlets such as Arch Daily, The Times, Building Design, The Guardian, and Architects’ Journal amongst others.
A Professional Photoshoot
Chris is available for Photoshoots across the UK and abroad, and has a breadth of experience photographing in central London.
His typical Architectural Photoshoot will involve clear dialogue with clients to understand their brief, as well as researching the project prior to the shoot. This can be achieved through reviewing architectural drawings or planning documents, assessing sun paths, analysing the local context, and even recceing a location beforehand.
Rates and Deliverables
Every client has specific requirements for photographing their building, and Chris is happy to tailor a competitive quote to meet your brief. Please feel free to reach out about your project and he will reply within 24 hours.
Architectural Photography has historically been a bit of a minefield with spiralling costs and unclear licensing agreements, however Chris has a very straightforward process and there are no hidden costs.
A single quote will be inclusive of everything from travel through to editing.
All photos will be provided fully edited, with no selection time required from clients. For reference, a half-day shoot will provide a minimum of 50 edited photos, and a full-day, 100 photos. Chris will usually provide far more than those figures.
All photos are provided in High and Low Resolution via a downloadable link, with the images fully licensed to the client for any marketing/press use in perpetuity. Formats other than JPEG can be provided at no extra cost.
Chris aims for an editing turnaround time within a week on all shoots, and can sometimes send photos within 24 hours if required.
