CPL Architecture | Atrium Health Wake Forest + UNC Health Caldwell

These projects marked my fifth and sixth collaborations with CPL Architecture. For both assignments, I worked closely with the lead architect and members of the design team, who graciously stepped in as models to help bring the spaces to life. It is always a pleasure to partner with CPL and document the thoughtful environments they create.

One of the most important qualities in healthcare photography is flexibility. There is often a limited window to photograph active medical environments, and success depends on adapting to the needs of the facility while making the process as seamless as possible for the client. On any given day, medical staff, administrators, contractors, and facilities teams are all working simultaneously, each with responsibilities that cannot be interrupted. Whether accommodating patient care, navigating ongoing construction activities, or working around the transport of temperature-sensitive medical samples, every detail requires careful coordination and a flexible approach.

I enjoy this aspect of the work. It demands thoughtful planning, clear communication, and the ability to adapt as conditions change throughout the day. The challenge keeps me engaged and allows me to create images that feel authentic while respecting the operational needs of the healthcare environment.

Featured here are two projects photographed during the same month: a new wing at UNC Health Caldwell and renovations within Atrium Health Wake Forest. Both projects reflect CPL Architecture's commitment to creating healthcare spaces that support exceptional care, efficiency, and patient experience.

If you're looking for photography that showcases the design, function, and human experience of healthcare environments, I'd welcome the opportunity to collaborate. Let's connect and discuss how we can tell the story of your next project.
