From Mediterranean villas to UNESCO heritage restorations, we document architecture where light, form, and material quality define design excellence. Editorial-grade imagery for luxury real estate, developer portfolios, and architectural awards submissions.

Madrid-based architectural photographer serving high-end residential, commercial, and heritage projects across Spain and Europe. 15+ years experience with world-renowned brands including BMW, Hilton, and Dolce & Gabbana.

This Isn’t Real Estate Photography. It’s Architectural Documentation.

Most property photographers shoot with available light and hope for the best. We plan around solar angles, bring professional lighting systems rated for 6-meter ceilings, and understand why luxury villas demand different compositional language than standard apartments.

TKM Photo specialises in architectural documentation for luxury residential estates, heritage restoration projects, boutique hospitality developments, and commercial properties requiring investor-grade visual assets. That means understanding material palettes, spatial flow, and how natural light transforms interiors across different times of day.

We have built strong collaborations with world-renowned corporations and architectural firms such as BMW, MINI, Jaguar, Land Rover, Dolce & Gabbana, Estée Lauder, Hilton, Radisson Blu, Henning Larsen Architects, MIR, and BASF. This extensive portfolio includes major works completed in Spain, Italy, France, Croatia, Denmark, Portugal, Morocco, Qatar, and Turkey.

If your property’s architecture tells a story worth documenting properly, it deserves photography that matches that value.

Built for Properties That Demand Editorial Quality

Architectural photography at the luxury and heritage level requires more than technical competence. It demands aesthetic judgment, lighting control, compositional discipline, and the cultural awareness to capture what makes a space architecturally significant.

Editorial-Grade Image Quality

We shoot with full-frame professional camera systems, tilt-shift lenses for perspective correction, and professional lighting rated for large interior volumes. Every image receives manual colour correction, vertical/horizontal alignment, and detail preservation processing. The result: imagery that holds up in print publications, large-format presentations, and award submissions.

Light & Time-of-Day Planning

Premium properties require shooting at specific times when natural light enhances architectural intent. We analyse solar orientation before every shoot, coordinate interior and exterior sessions around optimal light conditions, and return for twilight photography when evening illumination transforms a property’s presence. This isn’t convenience scheduling — it’s photographic necessity.

Heritage & Restoration Expertise

We’ve documented UNESCO-scale heritage restorations including Istanbul’s Bomonti Beer Factory — a 19th-century industrial complex transformed into a cultural landmark. Heritage documentation requires understanding historical architecture, material authenticity, and how restoration work balances preservation with contemporary function. Published case study available.

Compositional Precision for Luxury Markets

High-end buyers and architectural juries evaluate spatial quality, material selection, and design coherence — not just room count. Our compositions emphasize sight lines, volumetric scale, material textures, and how spaces connect. This is the visual language that resonates with luxury property buyers and design award panels.

AESA Licensed Aerial Documentation

Estate-scale properties and commercial developments require aerial perspective to communicate site context, landscape design, and architectural massing. Our EASA-compliant drone operations provide oblique angles, orthogonal site plans, and contextual establishing shots. All flight permits handled on our behalf.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What’s the difference between architectural and real estate photography?
A: Real estate photography documents spaces for listing purposes. Architectural photography emphasizes design intent, material quality, spatial relationships, and lighting — the visual language that resonates with luxury buyers, architects, and design award panels. We deliver editorial-grade imagery suitable for publications, not just MLS platforms.

Q: Do you photograph occupied properties or only vacant spaces?
A: We photograph both. For luxury sales, staged properties often present better than vacant spaces. For architectural portfolios, we typically shoot after staging or with minimal furnishings to emphasize spatial design. We coordinate based on your marketing strategy.

Q: Why does shooting time matter for architectural photography?
A: Natural light transforms throughout the day. South-facing living areas photograph best mid-morning. North-facing spaces need afternoon light. Pools and exteriors require golden hour. We plan shoots around when each space looks its architectural best — not just when it’s convenient.

Q: Can you photograph heritage or historic properties?
A: Yes. We’ve documented UNESCO-scale heritage restorations including 19th-century industrial complexes and historic estates. Heritage work requires understanding period architecture, material authenticity, and conservation priorities. Published case studies available.

Q: Do you serve clients outside Madrid?
A: Absolutely. We’re based in Madrid but regularly shoot luxury properties across Spain — Costa del Sol, Barcelona, Balearics, Basque Country, and Andalusia. Multi-day shoots coordinated with property access and seasonal light conditions.

Q: What are your rates?
A: Architectural projects are quoted individually based on property size, location, deliverable requirements, and usage rights. Contact us with property details for a fixed quote within 24 hours.

Q: Do you offer drone photography?
A: Yes. We hold AESA/EASA drone licensing for commercial aerial operations. Estate-scale properties, commercial developments, and landscape-integrated architecture benefit from aerial context photography. All permits and airspace coordination handled by our team.
