Architectural Photography Across the UK

I’m Dug Wilders, an architectural and commercial photographer based in Sheffield, on the edge of the Peak District. Architecture makes up the majority of my work, and I regularly travel throughout the UK photographing completed buildings, interiors and products for architects, developers, contractors and manufacturers.

Projects range from residential extensions and one-off homes to city-centre developments, offices and logistics sites covering several acres. My job is not simply to make a building look impressive. I want the finished photographs to explain the architecture, the materials, the setting and the details that made the project worth photographing in the first place.

Shoots are planned around the building and the available light rather than a fixed formula. That can mean returning at dusk, waiting for sunlight to reach a particular elevation or using a drone to find a viewpoint that simply doesn't exist at ground level.

Recent Architectural Photography Projects

My portfolio includes residential architecture, commercial property, interiors, industrial developments and architectural products throughout the UK. Recent commissions have included contemporary homes in the Peak District, large-scale developments in Sheffield, commercial projects in London and architecture throughout Yorkshire and the North of England.

I normally produce a complete set rather than concentrating solely on a few hero photographs: wider views explaining the building, tighter compositions, materials and details, interiors and aerial photographs where they add something useful.

Based in Sheffield, Working Throughout the UK

Sheffield and the Peak District are on my doorstep, but travelling has always been a normal part of my work. I regularly photograph projects in Leeds, Manchester, London and further across the UK.

Being based centrally means I can cover much of England comfortably and travel further for projects that justify it. I've photographed everything from compact residential architecture close to home to remote Scottish properties and major commercial developments hundreds of miles away.

Experience Behind the Camera

I've been working professionally as a photographer for well over a decade and have photographed more than 3,000 properties and products. I use specialist Canon equipment and tilt-shift lenses extensively for architectural work, allowing perspective and composition to be controlled properly in-camera.

The brief always comes first. Some clients need a handful of carefully planned images for an awards submission; others need a large collection covering an entire development for websites, press, brochures and social media. I plan the photography around what the images actually need to achieve.
