I shot my first house in 1978. Since then, shooting interiors and architecture has been the cornerstone of G Russ Images.
Now, with our new “grip” trailer pulled behind an H3, location work has become our main focus. And I am doing what I love and do best: architectural photography!
We’re shooting custom and production homes, hotels and resorts, commercial buildings, retail stores, furnishings and more…inside and out. And if you need to populate your properties with people we can do that, too. Check out our Lifestyle gallery.
We are uniquely skilled to shoot all environments. I cut my teeth on a 4x5 and for years processed my own film. I also bought one of the first high-end digital cameras and grew my studio to be one of the largest in Texas. We know technology but we learned lighting from the old school…Light it right for the camera, not the computer!
Centrally located in Austin, Texas, we can be anywhere the next day. Taking our show on the road ensures we have everything we need when we get to your location. Our palette is extensive: Tungsten, HMI and Strobe lights are all on board. We do a walk-through with the client, assess the environment and begin to paint with the appropriate light. My style is to light without the viewer knowing the source.

Also, we expertly work the images in post production to help with details that couldn’t be tended to on the shoot: Dead grass, broken roof tiles, burned out sign letters… You get the picture. Again, we want our retouching stroke to be effective but discreet. And then we deliver beautiful hi-resolution images, web size jpegs and contact sheets on disk. We archive them for you, too.
We are old school perfectionists with new school technology. We have been shooting for some clients for decades and they’ve always loved the images. But the work we are doing today is light years ahead of the old work. The tools are better and there is something to be said for 29 years experience. Shooting has never been this fun. And taking to the road to get to your location is a perk for me… I love to drive.
We are a low-key, low maintenance, hard working team. We are respectful and carefully operate in every environment. We are up early and shoot late, following the low horizon sun. We’re appropriately insured and uniquely prepared. I know you will appreciate our professional execution and our easygoing manner. And if we shoot your project you can be sure we’ll do it right and make it beautiful. No worries!
