I’ve photographed some incredible spaces over the last 24 years, but this recent shoot at the @shockoeinstitute stands out as one of the most immersive environments I’ve ever stepped into.

Located in Richmond’s historic Main Street Station, the Institute is a 12,000-square-foot facility designed by @local_projects. It is a space dedicated to revealing the evolution of American racial slavery and its impact on our civic life today.

The Technical Challenge:
Seeing in the dark. To make the camera “see” what the human eye does in such a contrasty, atmospheric space, I relied on a few “steady hand” techniques:

Long Exposures: Shooting at low ISOs for deep, noise-free files.

“Micro-Slow” Movement: Coaching the people in the frames to move at a snail’s pace to create intentional blurs, not “ghosts.”

Digital Cleanup: Extensive post-production to remove light flares and construction artifacts while the space was being finalized.

The Emotional Weight:
Documenting this history—centered in the heart of Richmond—is heavy work. It is brutal and uncomfortable, but necessary for the reflection and action the Institute seeks to inspire. I’m proud to have helped document this “gateway” to understanding our shared history.

How do you forge connections between a century-old Art Deco tower, known as the Ellis Island of the South, and its steward – a modern public college serving 170,000+ students, most of them first-generation immigrants?

Come find out in our session at this year’s @aamersofficial annual conference, Friday, May 22, 2026 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM EDT, Room 118 AB at the Pennsylvania Convention Center.

We’ll explore what happens when institutions integrate narrative into their most strategic spaces—and how strong narrative structures both the architecture and the experience.

The Freedom Tower had been largely silent for decades. Miami Dade College owns this historic landmark building, full of history but disconnected from student life. We were asked to refresh the graphics, but underwent a journey to help the college ask: How might this building answer the question “Do I belong here?” for students and Miamians alike.

Two years ago, Local Projects’ multiyear partnership with Pride Live bore fruit: the doors opened at the Stonewall National Monument Visitor Center.

The Center was premised on a simple but radical dream: to ensure that LGBTQ+ history had a home that could never be erased. Now, that dream received a beautiful nod from the American Alliance of Museums.

We are deeply honored to announce that we’ve been awarded the 2026 Museum of Impact Award.

This isn’t just a trophy on a shelf; it’s a testament to every person who has walked through the center’s doors. In just 24 months, 112,000 people have experienced the SNMVC, including visitors from all 50 states (including DC and Puerto Rico) and 93 countries. Pride knows no borders.

Thank you @aamersofficial for recognizing the growing need for a place like the SNMVC – a home for the past, present, and future of the LGBTQ+ movement.

Does the idea of giving customers a behind-the-scenes look at your R&D feel a little…revealing? We get it. But it's often the best way to offer a novel experience that builds trust with customers.

Local Projects is making a triumphant return to the stage at @instagacep, the world's premier event for Customer Experience pros, to share how to develop a narrative engine for innovation and R&D at your experience center.

Our session will be helmed by Creative Director @StephenBaker, alongside Nathan Pisik of @AMD, Patrick McMahon of the @gatesfoundation, and Phillip Tomlinson of @philips.

We'll see you in Santa Clara, #GACEP2026!

“We have nothing to fear from the facts.”

So says Marland Buckner, CEO of the @shockoeinstitute, a new national org dedicated to revealing the enduring impact of racial slavery on our shared American experience, and our client.

Today, we open the Institute’s signature exhibit, “Expanding Freedom”, a new exhibit that traces the evolution and enduring impact of racial slavery, and helps visitors understand and reframe this history’s impact on our current moment.

It’s a reckoning with our shared history, a reframing of a present built around enormous wealth and economic disparity, and a wish for a future led by groups like the Shockoe Institute that invite us to learn, reflect, and act to create solutions that improve our civic life and economic opportunity.

Come visit Expanding Freedom starting next week at Richmond’s Main Street Station located in Shockoe Bottom, a neighborhood that was once an epicenter of domestic slave trade, and now an epicenter of our search for a freer future.

The National Public Housing Museum is one of the top 3 new museums in the country!

USA Today’s editors get together annually to choose ten new museums to honor, and then put the top honors up to public vote, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to see this small but deserving museum at the top of the list.

Over 18 years in the making, the Museum shares the success story of public housing in post-WWII America and beyond, inside the only surviving building of the historic Jane Addams Home on Chicago’s Near West Side.

Last week, Stephen Baker and Kate Watson-Cole took the Freund Visiting Designer Lecture stage at Washington University’s Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts with one idea: the best designed experiences don’t impress visitors—they transform them.

They answered questions from our engaged audience, including friends from the Saint Louis Science Center and Mackey Mitchell architects, had the opportunity to review amazing student work through studio visits, and paid a visit to Wash U’s Kemper Art Museum to discusshow the team is rethinking museum education.

Thanks to Professor Jonathan Hanahan and the team at Sam Fox School for their hospitality!

Look twice. Then look again.

Camouflage: Designed to Deceive—our special exhibition for the @spymuseum—is opening this week!

The exhibition unfolds across four immersive galleries, tracing camo's roots in animal mimicry through its strategic evolution during World War II to today’s digital conflicts, where hiding in plain sight has become both an art and a necessity.

These themes are brought to life by large-scale physical scenography, artifacts, and examples of real camouflage, including:

– A super-sized model of a “dazzle ship,” a fascinating nautical experiment from the WWI-era, along with models of each dazzle ship, borrowed from the Imperial War Museum’s collection
– Mannequins sporting camouflage uniforms used from China to Ukraine, the Syrian desert to the Himalayan Mountains
– A monumental media piece that challenges visitors to spot camouflaged soldiers hidden in various environments, including a jungle, desert, and snowy mountain peak.
If you’re in Washington, DC, tickets are available now through the link in bio ⬆️.
