Architectural Media
that tells your story.

Philippe Newman Photography — photography and video media for residential, commercial and hospitality architecture.

Every space has a moment when its geometry, light and materials align. I work with architects, developers, builders and interior designers to find that moment — in stills and in motion — that will communicate the beauty and significance of your project.

A space takes months – often years – of thought, collaboration, and craftsmanship to design. Photographing it deserves the same level of care and expertise.

I collaborate with architects, designers, and developers to ensure that every image reflects the intent behind the design. From the initial walkthrough to the final retouch, each decision — lighting, composition, subject — is made to bring out the character, materials, and spatial relationships that define the space.

Many projects offer their own unique challenges, and I employ a combination of techniques and equipment, along with detailed post-production, to produce images with clarity, balance, and depth. Whether your project is a hilltop residence in San Francisco or a gallery in Los Angeles, the photographs and media will tell your story with passion.

Portrait of Philippe Newman

Philippe Newman

I'm an architectural photographer based in San Francisco, working throughout California and abroad. My approach is driven by architectural sensitivity, creative vision, and technical expertise, alongside the ability to visually articulate each project into a broader social and environmental context.

I've enjoyed over a decade photographing homes, hotels, museums and event spaces for the people who design, build and sell them – architects and designers who want to showcase the elements and concepts of their work, developers who need a listing to move, and hospitality brands that need images to capture how a space actually feels in person.

Let's talk about your project.

Tell me a bit about the building, the scope and your timeline — I'll come back with availability and a quote.
