Lean by Design | Philosophy

Philosophy.

People make community.

Our holistic approach to architectural photography and storytelling is personal. We capture architecture through the eyes of the communities and people it serves. Our video production services are journalistic, ethnographic,

and intentionally unscripted to grow your brand’s authentic voice.

Place makes it home.

We are drawn to the power, spirit and beauty of place, as well as the sanctuary of home. Therefore, our photographic style is organic in that it reflects the architectural order of nature while embracing the impermanent and the imperfect. Shots are composed in a photojournalistic way to convey a sense that a space feels "lived in" and supported by a community.

People make it sacred.

We work with purpose-driven clients in architecture, education and wellness who strive to improve the quality of life for others and operate in harmony with the earth. Client relationships are kindled with simplicity and elegance.

Storytelling for a purpose.
