Your design is magazine-worthy. The photography should be, too.
Bay Area Architectural Photographer for Interior Design & Real Estate
Light spills across wood, softens concrete, glows behind glass. Each image is composed to draw people into what you’ve built. I specialize in editorial-style real estate and luxury architectural photography for professionals who care about the details and want their work seen through a gallery-worthy lens.
Serving the entire Bay Area
A Photographer Who Captures the Depth of Your Work.
Architectural Photography
The San Francisco architectural photographer for the Bay Area’s leading architects, builders, and designers seeking striking images that capture their technical precision and artful detail at scale.
Luxury Real Estate Photography
For highly discerning agents who require more than standard listing photos. Editorial-style images perfect for high-end listings, design-forward spaces, and architecturally significant homes.
Interior Design Photography
Photos that are styled and composed to reflect the atmosphere of your space. Each image guides the viewer to notice the light, balance, mood, and carefully curated details you designed.
Maritime Photography
Yachts, commercial vessels, and waterfront industry photographed with a deep understanding of maritime life and a sharp eye for movement and light. Based in the Bay Area in Northern California.
Behind Every Great Photo is a Shared Vision.
Collaborative Creativity
On shoot day, the camera is tethered to a display so we can make real-time adjustments together. I welcome your creative input and treat every project as a shared pursuit of excellence.
Magazine Ready, Not Just MLS Ready
This is composed, clean, and curated photography that feels more luxe than listing. Intended to stand out and draw in buyers with an eye for quality.
Portfolios That Serve Everyone
One set of high-end photos can be used across your team by the architect, interior designer, builder, real estate agent, stager, and more. I offer a cost-sharing model that benefits everyone.

Meet Peter Lyons: Your Sonoma County Architectural Photographer
Professional. Precise. Easy to work with.
I love great design, but even more, I love working with the people who bring it to life. I’m endlessly inspired by the architects, designers, builders, and other creatives I get to work with.
Easygoing on set and meticulous behind the scenes, I value collaboration over ego and results over pretense. I often shoot tethered to monitors so everyone on set can provide feedback.
When you’re ready to shoot, I’m ready to collaborate.
