Architectural Photographer in Leeds

Hello, I’m Dug Wilders. My passion is translating great architecture into powerful images that work as hard as your design does.

I am your local architectural and commercial photographer for the Leeds region. As a photographer with a base right here in Yorkshire, I understand the local market and the value of capturing projects that stand out in a dynamic city like Leeds.

Leeds is a city of stunning contrasts – from the intricate Victorian detail of the Corn Exchange to the bold, contemporary projects regenerating the Aire Park and the Arena Quarter. When you’ve invested years of hard work into a project, you need imagery that clearly communicates your thought process and ensures the project is understood in the right way.

My job is simple: to make your Leeds project look outstanding and to communicate exactly what you wanted to achieve.

My Focus: Specializing in Leeds Architecture

I bring technical precision and a decade of specialized experience to every project across the city.

New Commercial Builds & Development Photography

The Leeds skyline is constantly evolving, with a strong focus on high-spec, sustainable office spaces and residential towers across the Financial District and South Bank.

  • I know these projects are visual assets designed to attract investment and drive sales. My images will showcase the scale, high-end finishing, and ESG credentials that today’s market demands.
  • I use my specialist equipment, including technical tilt-shift lenses, to ensure every line is precise and every vertical is true – no lazy or distorted images that undermine your firm’s professionalism.

Heritage & Industrial Conversions

The city’s wealth of Grade I listed buildings and former industrial sites requires a photographer who understands light, history, and craftsmanship.

  • I capture the intricate details that tell a story, whether it’s a restoration of a historic building or a modern intervention into a structure in Holbeck Urban Village.
  • The final images won’t just document the building. They will show how it functions and how it sits harmoniously within the historical context of Leeds.

My Collaborative Approach to Your Investment

I believe great photography is the result of collaboration. When you commission me, you are making an investment, and I ensure you get the maximum return.

I am confident I can elevate your next Leeds project.

  1. I Plan for the Win: If you are aiming for prestigious recognition like the RIBA Awards, I plan the shoot to capture the essential images needed to illustrate not just beauty, but the building’s specific credentials.
  2. I Demand Excellence: Your project must be ready. I will work with you to ensure the site is prepped – cars moved, staging complete – so we maximize our time on site.
  3. I Deliver Assets: I don’t aim for 50 mediocre images. I focus on a strong set of images that capture the essence of the project: the big picture ‘wow’ shot, the unusual details, and the interaction of light, space, and materials.

I have photographed thousands of architectural projects for hundreds of clients. If you have a project in Leeds, let’s chat about how I can bring it to life.
