In November we invited four architectural photographers to come and discuss their experiences and approaches to the field and how it has evolved over the past 30 years or so.

Martine Hamilton Knight

Daniel Hopkinson
Daniel established his practice in 2002 with his partner Hannah Burton. Daniel Hopkinson Architectural Photography provides specialist photographic services for the property and construction industry. Daniel works all over the country and is based in Manchester.

Christopher Terry
Is a freelance commercial photographer, working throughout the UK, with particular focus across the midlands and is based in Nottingham. After first becoming interested in photography 20 years ago, Christopher decided to set up his own photography business in 2012. Since then, he has worked with small and large businesses, on a wide variety of photography projects.

I enjoy being creative and producing photographs that are unique and have personality for my clients.  I can offer a wide range of services, from architectural and interior photography, to food photography and business portraits.  I can help any client to create fantastic images to promote their brand or business

Lamar Francois
After studying Physics and Maths at university, Lamar switched to photography to embrace his creative streak whilst using his analytical training to bring a distinctive flair to his work. Lamar has been working in Nottingham since 2009.

One of the things I enjoy most about photography is how it is a fascinating combination of an art and a science. Having studied Physics and Maths to degree level gives me a technical appreciation of the medium which I combine with creative expression and storytelling. As this relates to architecture, I tell the story of the space, light, geometry, and form (massing) of buildings in their environment, as well as how people interact with them. I am fortunate to be able to bring this into my emerging professional practice. Thus far I’ve been fortunate to work with clients including Wolfgang Buttress, JTP Architects and Price & Myers Engineers.

It was an intimate evening, but with an engaging and attentive audience.

We had a great positive response from all those who attended particularly from the quests.

Thank you all for making this event happen. If you would like to see more of this type of event, please get in touch with suggestions via the submissions page or come along to one of our events and speak with a member of our committee.

Thank you,
