Photography

Whether images for a website are needed or custom photography is called for, Illuminating Studios has over 20 years' experience in digital, print, slide and copystand photography and digital editing.

Our trademark image, found on these pages and our business card, is a photograph of the North Tower of Chartres Cathedral, taken at sunset in May 2005. One of 1,133 digital photographs by Philip Maye on the Chartres Cathedral website listed on the Portfolio page, a larger view with text description can be found on that site by typing FCAE111T1120 into that search engine.

Two other projects merit attention. Last year saw the release of the The Harmony Society website, devoted to the pipe organ built by Joseph Downer c.1788 in Southwestern Pennsylania, which includes over 400 original photographs on the image page. In November 2008 the new architectural guidebook for Calvary Episcopal Church will be released at the church's Annual Bazaar; the book's principal photography is mine.
