Unbuilt.
I build the version of your project that clients can walk into before a single footing is poured — photoreal stills, moving walkthroughs, and staged interiors that make a drawing feel like a place.
First drafts in 10 daysFrom approved plans — two revision rounds baked in.
01
Why I do it this way
How I think about a render
“A render isn't decoration. It's the first time everyone in the room sees the same building — the client, the lender, the planning board, and you.”
— Dana, founder of Brass Compass. I've spent the last decade turning CAD files into images that actually close the sale.
- a
Light that behaves
Real sun angles for the actual lot, at the hour that flatters it. No fake glow.
- b
Materials you can name
Brushed oak, board-formed concrete, weathered zinc — spec-accurate, not stock.
- c
People at human scale
Figures and cars sized true, so a room reads like a room and a plaza reads like a plaza.
- d
Files for the boardroom and the billboard
Delivered at print resolution, plus web-ready crops for the pitch deck.

What I make
Five ways to show an unbuilt project
Priced per view or per project so you only pay for what your pitch actually needs. Every quote is fixed before I start.
Interior stills
Furnished rooms with true daylight and spec materials — the shot that lets buyers imagine living or working inside.

Animated walkthroughs
A 30–60 second flythrough with music and titles — the film that plays on a loop at the sales office or the board meeting.
From $6,800 per minute finished

Virtual staging
Empty units and raw shells furnished digitally, so a bare space photographs like a finished home.
$195 per room

Interactive 360° & VR
Spin-and-look panoramas your clients open on a phone or a headset — no app, just a link.

From file to final frame
The order I work in
01
We start with your drawings
Send me your CAD, Revit, or SketchUp files and a few reference photos of the site. I flag anything missing before I ever quote — no half-answers.
02
Grey-box and camera angles
Before any texture, I block the massing and lock the camera views with you. It's cheap to move a wall now — expensive after the render's baked.
03
Light, materials, and life
Real sun for the real lot. Named materials, not stock swatches. People and cars at true scale so the scene stops looking like a diagram and starts looking like a Tuesday.
04
First frames in ten days
You get watermarked drafts to mark up. Two rounds of revisions are baked into every quote; anything beyond that is $150 a round, priced up front so nothing surprises the invoice.

The work, by type
Most of what I render will never carry a photographer's credit — because it isn't built yet. Here's the range of projects that come through the studio.
Multifamily & mixed-use
Marketing packages for developers pitching lenders and pre-selling units before groundbreaking.
Civic & institutional
Board-ready visuals for schools, libraries, and public projects that need buy-in before funding.
Single-family & interiors
Exterior hero shots and virtually staged interiors for custom homes and spec builds.

Let's build it twice — once on screen, then for real.
If you've got a project that has to be seen to be sold, I'd like to render it. Reach me directly and we'll get moving.
