architectural photographer Neil Shelby Long captures Ohio State University Stadium in early autumnal morning sunshine

"I capture the soul of architecture by embracing how light and shadow dance across spaces. I document buildings as they were designed to be experienced, not just as structures, but as living environments with history and purpose. My work serves developers, architects, and designers who need their vision authentically represented, particularly for large-scale and industrial projects. I breathe new life into heritage sites, partnering with custodians to transform historical treasures into must-visit destinations while documenting both their rich past and visionary renovations. Where others might flatten a building's character with artificial lighting, I reveal the architect's intended drama and dimension. It's about telling the complete story of a space, how it was conceived, how it lives in its environment, and how people interact with it. My photographs don't just show a building; they invite you to experience it."
