Discuss Your Project
I've spent more than 30 years photographing architecture, interiors and hospitality projects for architects, interior designers, developers, builders and brands. The job is simple to describe: show how a space was designed and built, accurately, in a way the client can use for years.
That work has taken me to 58 countries and into 14 books and more than 45 magazines. Clients use the images for marketing, award submissions, press and print. Many also tell me the shoot day itself was easy, which matters on a long shoot day.
Architecture, interiors and hospitality, photographed as one project
Most of my work comes from architects, interior designers, developers and hotel teams who need a finished project documented properly: the building in context, the interiors, the details that took months to get right, a twilight view, and aerial when the site calls for it.
Because it's one photographer and one approach, the images work together on a website, in an award submission, in a press kit or in a magazine layout. See how a complete project is scoped.

Hotels, resorts and hospitality properties
Hotels need more than room shots. I photograph the arrival, the architecture, guestrooms and suites, pools, spas, restaurants, bars, food and the property from the air, so marketing has one library to draw from.
Hospitality work has included Windstar Cruises, Ritz-Carlton properties as a Ritz-Carlton Certified Photographer, and Caribbean villas as the official Airbnb Luxe Caribbean photographer. Hotel & hospitality photography in Puerto Rico.
Interiors, kitchens and baths
Interior work is about light, materials and how one room leads to the next. I've photographed for Sasha Adler Design, Harrison Design Associates and kitchen and bath brands including SieMatic, KraftMaid, William Ohs and Cosentino, and that work runs in shelter magazines and at KBIS.

Also: food, product and aerial
Restaurants, hotel F&B programs and product brands hire me for the same reason architects do: planning and consistency. Food work includes Sophie's Restaurant in San Juan and Madison's Restaurant in Highlands. Every aerial job is flown under an FAA Part 107 certificate.

A Career Built in Production, Not Just Photography
Gil’s career started in film production, live television, international fashion, and feature films. He was a member of the Directors Guild of Great Britain for a decade and also a member of the Directors’ and Producers’ Rights Society (DPRS). At the time of his admission to the Guild, he was the youngest member ever admitted. That production background — planning a shoot, anticipating problems before they happen, managing complex logistics on location, and delivering a final product that meets the brief exactly — is what separates his commercial photography from photographers who learned composition but not production. It’s also part of why clients so often describe working with him as easy, calm, and genuinely enjoyable, even on the longest shoot days.
Over the years, Gil has photographed Ernest Hemingway’s home in Cuba, Francis Ford Coppola’s estate in Belize, and Dick Clark’s residence in Turks and Caicos. He has photographed Airbnb Luxe Caribbean listings and Ritz-Carlton properties, a verified member of the AIAP, and a GSA provider. His work has been published in 14 books and over 45 magazines, with hundreds of individual editorial features across shelter, design, hospitality, food, and trade publications.
