The Firm and its Work
Assignment Photography - Still, video, and aerial options
Architectural & Interiors Photography (AIP) is a Firm that is dedicated to performing architectural, interiors and product- specific type photography, specializing in photographing the following types of new and renovated buildings and surrounding landscapes, city scapes, and sky scapes: luxury residential, commercial, educational, court house, technical/scientific/clean room, healthcare, industrial, cultural, private club, retail, hospitality, restaurant, and religious institutions – as well as other high quality/value structures in the public sectors. Specifically, the Firm’s photography includes images of work spaces, living quarters, factory operations, dining facilities, medical services, classrooms, exhibit spaces, common areas, lobbies and hallways, court yards, home theaters, dens, bedrooms, furniture, windows and doors, bars, to name only a few. The Firm’s associates perform this work through a combination of still, video and aerial photography.
The primary purpose of the Firm’s work is to provide insightful interior and exterior images in order to demonstrate a client’s exceptional designs, the durable and innovative qualities of its buildings, residences, work spaces, materials and furnishings, as well as to complement and support a client’s marketing strategy initiatives. Images are typically used for a client’s website, brochures, editorial content, proposals and presentations, press releases, design award competitions, trade shows, office décor, newsletters, and paid advertising in trade publications. In short, the firm’s images document and highlight client skills, competencies and achievements – thereby assisting in the implementation of an enhanced competitive advantage.
In addition, the Firm’s associates photograph product-specific images where a particular product is being highlighted by its manufacturer or retailer, at a customer installed or showroom location. Or we arrange to have the product or products displayed in a “life style” setting at a specially arranged luxury home or commercial building where the product can be set up and be seen and photographed to its best advantage. Alternatively, we can use our studios or those of our client or advertising/PR agency in order to provide an attractive setting. Such products have included, for example, automobiles; living room, dining room, kitchen, bathroom, and outdoor furniture, fixtures and accessories; lighting; windows and window treatments; ceiling, wall, and flooring materials; textiles; signage; architectural hardware; lawn and garden equipment; specialty windows and doors; roofing materials, home and office equipment and furnishings; to name only a few.
The Firm’s founder and managing partner, Thomas H. Kieren, also assists clients in competing and winning coveted design awards through his experience as an active member of the American Institute of Architect’s design awards committee in the New York area, working on actual architectural design awards projects, and currently as an active member of its Marketing and Public Relations Committee.
Last but not least, the Firm offers to assist clients with their marketing of photographic images and editorial content, with a variety of trade-specific electronic and print publications – due to our close contacts and working relationships with the editors and art directors of numerous regional, national and international trade publications.
The Firm, through its associates, provides architectural images through still, video and aerial photography, at one or more of locations in North America and on other continents. Project locations have included New York City, Princeton, South Hampton, Jersey City, Atlanta, Phoenix, Omaha, Tampa, Green Bay, Franklin Lakes, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Milwaukee, Boston, Greenwich, Indianapolis, Chicago, Paris, Rome, London, Berlin, Dubai, Buenos Aires, Mexico City, Hong Kong, Soule, Montreal, St. Moritz, Montego Bay, Copenhagen, Sydney, Riyadh, Kuwait City, and Vienna.

These images are typically licensed for a fee to advertising agencies, PR firms, corporations, newspapers, magazines and a number of other organizations who need specific images in order to complement an editorial piece or advertising theme.
