Shoot the Moon, with Nick Merrick

"Shoot the Moon"— an article on Nick Merrick, recognized as one of the leading architectural photographers working today, from Architect Magazine, written by Ernest Beck.

"For the past 30 years, architectural photographer Nick Merrick has logged thousands of miles capturing vivid images of houses, orchestra halls, museums, airports, corporate headquarters, and other types of structures. Whether it’s a small residential structure or the world’s tallest building—a recent project took him to Dubai, United Arab Emirates, to shoot the half-mile-high Burj Khalifa—Merrick works to create photographs that have an elemental relationship to a building.

A senior partner in the renowned Chicago architectural photography firm Hedrich Blessing Photographers, the 57-year-old Merrick spoke to Architect Magazine for the second in a two-part series about architectural photography.

He offers a few tips for aspiring architectural photographers—and insight into how photographers work best—for the clients who hire them."
