Regent Eastover, LandDesign
Charlotte, NC
LandDesign invited me to photograph the landscape architecture at Regent Eastover, a project that required a careful balance between design focus and urban context. We identified two primary areas of emphasis: the front entry sequence and the upper-level exterior amenity space, photographing each at different times of day to capture how the spaces function under varying light conditions.
One of the primary challenges was location. Because the amenity space sits on the top floor, surrounding elements—telephone poles, overhead cables, and nearby rooftops—had the potential to distract from the landscape design. I approached each composition intentionally, using framing and perspective to isolate their work and keep attention where it belonged.
At the same time, we wanted to acknowledge the building’s relationship to Uptown, particularly in the evening. Night photography allowed the project to feel grounded in its urban setting while maintaining a clean, refined visual language. In post-production, I subtly enhanced plant density and vitality to ensure the landscape appeared healthy and well-established.
The final images strike a strong balance between clarity and context.
If you’re a landscape architect looking to elevate your digital presence or strengthen an upcoming award submission, I’d love to help create imagery that thoughtfully showcases your work and attracts the clients you want to serve. Let’s set up a call to talk about your next project.
“Paul is wonderful to work with. He takes the time to understand the subject and space he is asked to photograph, which produces results with more meaning. His communication is quick and informative, and his asset delivery is within a reasonable expectation of time. I especially appreciate his approach to business development (gaining contracts) as it’s communicative and not aggressive. I look forward to working with him again.”
“Working with Paul Lange was an absolute pleasure! His innate ability to capture the essence and soul of interior spaces is unparalleled. Every shot was meticulously composed to highlight the design’s every nuance and beauty. Paul has a keen eye for detail that highlights the character of the room. Not only was Paul professional and accommodating, but very patient when working with us. The images he produced elevated our designs, showcasing them in a way that mesmerized our clients. We highly recommend Paul.”
