Colorado School of Mines Beck Venture Center - Golden, Colorado

The project faced several site challenges during photography. Adjacent construction created visual obstacles, with temporary elements like fencing, signage, and equipment requiring removal. The incomplete landscaping further complicated exterior shots. Additionally, the secure campus environment required special access coordination.

To overcome these challenges, we developed a comprehensive strategy that minimized disruption while maximizing image quality. By scheduling photography sessions during weekends and coordinating closely with campus police, we secured access to all necessary areas of the facility. Our advanced post-processing techniques allowed us to effectively remove construction elements that would have otherwise detracted from the building's aesthetic. We enhanced interior shots through careful studio lighting placement and pre-arranged subject coordination, ensuring each space was captured at its best. Through meticulous planning and composition, we worked around site constraints to create compelling images that highlighted the building's key features.

OZ Architecture expressed strong satisfaction with the final images, which effectively captured their innovative design approach and sustainable features. The photography successfully showcased their vision for modern educational spaces while creating a comprehensive visual record for competition entries and future project pursuits.
