Elevating Your Work with Captivating Architectural Photography
Professional Imagery for the Creators of San Francisco’s Iconic Spaces
Celebrating Your Projects with Premiere San Francisco Architectural Photography
As architects, builders, and manufacturers, you dedicate years to transforming designs into reality. How do you showcase the result of your hard work—not just document it, but celebrate it as part of your legacy?
In San Francisco’s competitive design and construction industry, working with a San Francisco architectural photographer ensures you highlight your projects with bold, striking imagery. These photos amplify your impact, attract future opportunities, and solidify your reputation in the field.
Most people will never step inside your architectural marvels. Without the powerful marketing tool of architectural photography, how will you share your work with people anywhere in the world?
Without a go-to local San Francisco architectural photographer, finding someone to accurately capture your project’s essence is like navigating without a compass. Your architectural work risks being captured through a lens that fails to do justice to its design and innovation, leaving its story half-told.
Robert P. Calderwood Architectural Photography bridges the gap between your work and its audience, capturing your projects’ brilliance with minimal effort on your part.
As your San Francisco architectural photographer, I provide a one-stop photography solution, saving you the search for a skilled local photographer and fitting seamlessly into your busy schedule, ensuring your architectural achievements are celebrated far and wide.
Why Images Matter: The Power of Visual Communication

Cost Sharing

Understanding Your Needs
An architect might have different image needs than the electrical contractor and the flooring manufacturer. I make sure to understand each client’s vision and what they want to highlight about their work.
Advanced Post-Processing
I make every effort to produce portfolio-worthy images with every photoshoot. This means utilizing advanced techniques, like compositing images to ensure the best color and lighting. All images go through retouching to make sure they are crisp and clean.
Meticulous Planning
Whether it’s reviewing your shot list or making my own, doing a walk-through to scout for ideal images, or tracking the weather, I always take the time to plan for a photoshoot, and never just wing it.
The Image Files You Need, Ready to Use
I provide final image files in high resolution format, ready for printed media, as well as medium resolution / smaller files, ready for online use.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
My goal is to keep pricing clear and simple. No hourly or day rates or extra charges per image or other unknowns. I respect that the photography cost is a small fraction of your project budget, so it shouldn’t be complicated! You get a lump sum price for the project, which includes a guaranteed mininum number of images, plus any extra final images I produce.

When more than one party is interested in getting images of a project, everyone benefits. The price for the photoshoot per party is discounted for when two clients book our services together.
And, when three or more parties participate, the price each party pays is even less.
To make things easy, I will typically contract directly with each interested party, so you don’t have to do the legwork. Just pass on their contact info, and I’ll take if form there.
-
As the photography creator, I own and retain the copyright to the images.
However, when you book a session or purchase individual images, our agreement grants you the license to use the images in your marketing efforts, online, printed media, etc. for as long as you would like.
-
My agreement is setup to give you and your company the license to use the images, only.
If another party would like to use the images too, then please have them contact me. I will help set them up with their own license.
If the photoshoot hasn’t started, invite them to participate in cost sharing, so everyone benefits and pays less.
-
I’m based in the San Francisco Bay Area, and work all over Northern California.

In general, no. I focus on high-quality photography of projects for architects, designers, builders, and manufacturers of building materials. Typically the photos form part of my clients’ portfolio and is used in commercial marketing for years.
That said, sometimes an architectural project is a speculative property that is put on a real estate market, in which case I can license the images for real estate listing and marketing purposes.
