Give Me Liberty

Boston has two new large construction projects in progress at this time. This photograph is of Liberty Mutual's new 22-story office tower in the Back Bay. This photograph is a composite view created from 13 photographs to show the work site with the best crane positions and worker action at their peak. A beautiful winter day added to the composition.

Established Location

On this assignment I was asked to photograph interior and exteriors of the commercial office building located at One Faneuil Hall a Post-Modern design by architect Graham Gund. I also was asked to create a few views that established the building's location in this very well know part of downtown Boston. For this photograph I chose to focus on one of the round windows and it's very recognizable view of the Quincy Market.  For an exterior view of this building please visit my web site:  www.andycaulfield.com

A Sense of Place

This interior view is of the library-sitting room at the newly renovated Belmont Manor Nursing Center. The style and finish in this room is indicative of the new welcome and public areas of this long established care facility in Belmont, MA.

Researching the Light

Sometimes an assignment comes up with very short notice. For this assignment  which included both interiors and exteriors of a LEED Certified Medical Research building, the interior access was only allowed in the afternoon. By determining the ideal sun angle for this location I decided that it was better to photograph the exteriors in the early morning light. I made arrangements with the client and property management staff to photograph the exterior views in the morning and come back in the afternoon for the interiors. Good lighting is everything in a successful photograph, a little research makes a big difference.

Game On!

This custom designed mahogany wet bar is the focal point of this "man cave"/family room designed and built by custom home builder John Bruno. The room features pool and foosball tables a TV sitting area and an adjacent workout room. Did I mention 4 beers on tap? Game on!

Now Serving History

This month I photographed a new food service installation at a local university. The historical location was originally an exclusive apartment building situated on the Charles River in Cambridge, MA. The building was undergoing a complete renovation to be used as undergraduate housing. The 1st floor common area had been transformed into a state of the art food service area with the interior finish to match the look and feel of the existing space. This view is one of eight views I photographed of the project, it features both the new and existing woodwork as well as an original window.

Photographing any location the same day as the "punch list" is being completed is always a challenge, but it can be done. With good planning and communications all parties can stay out of each others way and views that tell the story can successfully be made.

Green Light

This interior features a view of an office cubicle work area that is lit with highly efficient task lighting that gives an even illumination to the entire work area. The lighting is also tied into motion sensors that automatically shut down regions of the workspace when not in use. At this location I photographed overall views as well as individual cubicles and details of the installed product.
