Elevating Vancouver's Architecture Through Stunning Photography

Hi, I'm Ian Harland, a professional photographer based in Vancouver with over 6 years of experience in the architectural world. I have worked with esteemed publications such as the Vancouver Sun, National Post, Canadian Geographic, West Coast Home & Design and Travel + Leisure. My diverse portfolio spans hotels like the Marriott and Sheraton and residential and commercial properties. I am dedicated to providing exceptional quality and attention to detail in every project, ensuring your architectural vision is brought to life through stunning imagery.

 
 

Unique Approach

As an architectural photographer, I prioritize quality over quantity to showcase buildings at their best. This dedication can involve conducting site visits, patiently waiting for ideal lighting conditions, utilizing complex external lighting setups, and combining up to 15 images in Photoshop to create a single, exceptional final image. By emphasizing attention to detail, I ensure your architectural project is presented in the most captivating and visually stunning manner possible.

Virtual Staging and Renovation

In addition to traditional architectural photography, I offer virtual staging and renovation services, which allow clients to see the potential of a space through digitally enhanced images. Working closely with a team of skilled photo editors, we create visually compelling representations of furnished and updated interiors, helping clients envision the full potential of any property.

Virtual staging adds furniture, decor, and other elements to empty rooms, while virtual renovation involves updating existing spaces with new furniture, fixtures, and design elements. These services provide clients with a glimpse into the possibilities of a property, assisting them in making informed decisions and bringing their dream spaces to life.

Aerial Photography & Video

I also offer aerial photography services to capture stunning bird's-eye views of your architectural projects. For basic aerial projects, I can personally handle the photography, while for more complex and demanding tasks, I collaborate with Lukas Hardieck, a licensed drone photography and videography specialist. Together, we provide breathtaking aerial images and videos that showcase your architectural project from an entirely new perspective, elevating its visual impact and appeal.

Ian was hands down the BEST photographer we could have gotten, there is not a single thing that could have gone better...in other words he was perfect! We are so happy with our pictures, and I know you will be too if you get then with Ian. He is reasonably priced, very professional, easy to work with, makes you feel at ease, and does a fantastic job with editing. In the booking process he was great at communicating and addressing questions, etc. as well.
