The Shifter Summit, Nashville, March 2024

The World’s First Immersive Architecture/Interior/Hospitality Photography Retreat.

Talk

We Trust Our Eyes Too Much – Revisiting The Creative Process in Residential Architectural Photography.

Simon challenges the traditional paradigms of perception, asserting that other senses—touch, hearing, even smell—can foster deeper connections to the structures we’re photographing and result in more dynamic, emotive imagery.

By sharing unconventional techniques and insights, you’re encouraged to re-think your creative process, framing architectural photography not merely as a documentation of physical structures, but as a multi-sensory experience that can elicit the true essence of a space, transcend its physicality, and, most importantly, tell its unique story.

Workshop

Un-Tethering from Your Creative Process

Learn to “un-tether” from the anchors and restraints we have made for ourselves in residential architecture photography and revisit the creative process through exploration and curiosity with Simon Devitt.
