Architectural and Aerial Photography

Beyond Buildings: Seeing the Soul of the Space

Architectural, Commercial Property & Real Estate Photography for Architects, Developers, Asset Managers and Investors

Joas Souza is an architectural and aerial photographer based in London, UK, specialising in commercial architectural photography, real estate photography, and aerial photography for professional and institutional use.

His photography is produced to professional standards, ensuring clarity, accuracy, and consistency across marketing materials, asset portfolios, and long-term property records.

The approach to architectural and commercial property photography is documentary rather than stylistic, with an emphasis on clear representation of form, materials, scale, and context for professional, commercial, and investment use.

Each project is photographed with careful attention to composition, perspective, lighting, and post-production consistency, producing high-quality imagery suitable for both immediate marketing requirements and long-term asset documentation.
