Architecture, infrastructure, construction, transportation and environmental photography by Tampa Bay Florida based aerial and commercial location photographer David Lawrence. Creating unique images of buildings, bridges, houses, highways, rail, energy, ports, industry, natural resources and agriculture projects. Along with the people who design them, build them and keep them running.
Aerial photography is one of my specialities. I utilize both helicopters and drones which allows us to fly "low and slow".
Since we are photographing through less haze and atmosphere, the images are bright and colorful. This really makes a difference in hot and humid climates ... like Florida. A lower altitude also allows for composing with a variety of interesting camera angles.

Structures are designed by people and for people. I strive to capture a sense of purpose and place. It may be found in the small details or in the relationship of a building to it's surroundings. There are times when a skewed angle feels more correct than precise ninety degree measurements
My architectural photography assignments are often in public spaces (airports, rail stations, libraries, retail and hospitality environments, etc.) ... And these locations are clients of my clients. I am comfortable in working with possible time constraints and security issues.
Experience allows me to seek out interesting viewpoints and create images for you that bring out the unique character and beauty of your project.

In a quest for capturing the spirt of flight, I have stood at the end of runways as jumbo jets roar overhead and mounted cameras on the wing tips of a Cessna. I have rode in the jump seat of a 747 and the basket of a hot air balloon along with ultralights, glider planes, helicopters, WW2 war birds, German biplanes and the Concorde.
I have photographed from the flight lines and ramp areas of busy international airports like Tampa, Boston, JFK, Orlando, Denver and Sydney Australia. I have flown solo in a Piper, jumped out of a perfectly good sky dive plane and "landed" a 737 flight simulator. I love to photograph "flying machines".

I photograph real people at work and at play for a number of editorial and corporate clients.
Parks, fields and farming, irrigation and wetland mitigation, architectural landscaping and agriculture, green energy and environmental cleanup ... I love photographing environmental projects.
With a degree in Environmental Biology and over twenty years of location photography experience, I can help you highlight your industrial projects.
