Sometimes our clients don’t need a magazine cover shot, they need some solid photographs taken in less-hospitable conditions and on a tight deadline. A case in point is the photography we’ve done recently for some local apartment complexes. With June and July’s temperatures hitting 115+ degrees in Las Vegas, it has been a test of will–and hydration–to set up the right shot again and again to cover a large property. (Truth be told the temperature standing on the asphalt is a fair bit hotter than what the weather app reports.) Patience and hard work pays off–we were able to deliver 162 strong, clean images from one day of shooting. Three are featured here.

In the past 10 years the number of high-rise condos in Vegas has skyrocketed. This means the need for some competent designers and decorators. We’ve been shooting for Tina Dyba for years and are excited to show off some of her recent work. Take a look!

We recently had the opportunity to shoot the redesign of City Dental on the corner of Nellis and Charleston. We don’t usually dabble in interior decorating, but here we actually had the rare opportunity of contributing to the interior! (Notice the photo of City Center, far left.)

This was a great story from our friend Leslie at Prudential Americana. A $700,000 home in Anthem Country Club which we recently shot for Leslie sold in only a few days with the buyer never visiting the property. According to Leslie, “They saw the photos and were ready to move!” Sweet.

Here are a couple pics from that shoot. Congrats again Leslie!

We’ve been shooting some real estate photography recently for some great agents. Having had the pleasure of working with Leslie and Francesca at Prudential Americana, we hope their success continues and we’re proud our photography has become a tool in their selling arsenal. Good luck ladies!

Mark Tracy and Chemical Spaces are kicking off 2013 with some great new images. This unit at Panorama towers features LED-backlit mirrored panels on the ceiling, dramatic tile designs, and custom wall murals. Keep killin it, Mark.

We recently shot the workout studio of our friend Aimee Gianni as she puts together her personal training studio. We wish Aimee all the luck in the world in making GianniFit a big success.

Happy 20th birthday to Usana Health Sciences in West Valley City, UT. The 2012 international convention was a great deal of fun to shoot with photographers Kelly Branan and Raji Barbir. In this photo, attendees hold up their free iPads as they celebrate at the conclusion of convention. Once again, a diversion from my usual work of architectural photography, but a whole lot of fun and a great opportunity to shoot some stunning photographs.

After being online but flying under the search engine radar for about two months, we’ve launched the site officially and made www.davidmarquardtphotography.com visible to Google and others. Thanks for visiting and sticking with us!

It is a little outside my usual work of architectural photography, but it was a lot of fun shooting the Manny Pacquiao – Tim Bradley weigh-in at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on Friday.
