How much does architectural photography cost?

Pricing depends on project scope, including location, property size, and number of images. We charge a creative fee for on-location shoots (full-day up to 10 hours or half-day up to 4 hours), plus per-image post-production, assistant fees, and travel expenses.

Can other vendors use the final images from a photoshoot?

Yes, other vendors can use the final images, but they need their own license. Cost sharing is the easiest way: we plan one shoot, add interested project partners to the licensing pool, and everyone splits the cost while getting the same full set of images.

How should I prepare for an architectural photoshoot?

Have the space clean and styled according to your vision. Consider discussing specific angles or features you want to emphasize.

What should I expect during a photoshoot?

Be prepared for a long day that often starts at dawn and ends at dusk. We collaborate closely with clients to understand their vision, utilizing professional equipment and expertise in composition and lighting.

How long does it take to receive the final images?

Typically 2-3 weeks after you have made a selection, depending on the volume of work involved.

Residential and Interior Design Photography in New York City

Pavel Bendov is a New York City-based photographer specializing in residential and interior design photography. He works with interior designers, architects, and developers to create images that capture the character, craftsmanship, and atmosphere of residential spaces — from luxury Manhattan penthouses to renovated Brooklyn brownstones.

Capturing the Story of Every Home

Residential photography is deeply personal. Every home reflects the taste, lifestyle, and vision of its designer and inhabitants. Pavel’s approach emphasizes natural light, authentic atmosphere, and thoughtful composition to create images that feel both elevated and lived-in. The goal is not just to document a space, but to communicate the experience of being in it.

Spaces We Photograph

• Luxury Apartments & Penthouses — High-end residential interiors across Manhattan, including new construction and renovated pre-war buildings.

• Townhouses & Brownstones — Multi-story homes in Brooklyn, the Upper East Side, the West Village, and throughout the city.

• Designer Showhouses — Curated residential spaces created for design showcases and editorial features.

• Model Units & Sales Galleries — Residential marketing photography for developers launching new condominium and rental projects.

• Kitchen & Bath Design — Detailed photography highlighting custom cabinetry, fixtures, materials, and finis

How We Work

The process begins with understanding your project and its story. We review floor plans, discuss key rooms and design features, and plan the shot list together. On shoot day, we bring careful attention to styling, light quality, and camera position to ensure each image reflects the designer’s intent. Post-production is meticulous — every image is color-corrected, retouched, and delivered at high resolution for both print and digital use.

Built for Designers and Architects

Whether you need imagery for your portfolio, a magazine submission, a client presentation, or social media, Pavel delivers photography that elevates your work. He has photographed residential projects for leading New York City design firms, with images featured in Architectural Digest, Mansion Global, and other top publications.

Why Invest in Professional Interior Design Photography?

Your residential design project represents months or years of creative work. Professional photography preserves that work in its best light and opens doors to press coverage, award recognition, and new client inquiries. In New York City’s competitive design industry, strong imagery is essential for building your reputation and growing your practice.
