Architectural Photographer in York
Hello, I’m Dug Wilders. I am passionate about photographing the unique blend of history and contemporary life that defines York’s architectural identity.
York is a city unlike any other. Its beauty lies in its history – from the monumental York Minster and the medieval City Walls to the sensitive restorations taking place throughout the centre. If your project involves heritage, hospitality, or luxury commercial space in York, you need a photographer who treats every detail with the respect and technical skill it deserves.
My base in Yorkshire means I have a deep appreciation for York’s unique light and character. My job is to ensure your work is not just documented, but is elevated into a powerful visual asset that reflects the quality of your design.

My Focus: Preserving and Promoting York’s Architecture
I bring an award-winning perspective and specialist equipment to projects that require a nuanced approach – particularly those dealing with the past.
Heritage & Conservation Photography
Working with listed buildings and historic sites demands more than a standard shoot. It requires a photographer who understands the conservation process.
- I capture the intricate details of restoration, highlighting materials, joinery, and the craftsmanship that brings a historic building back to life.
- My photography tells the story of your project’s longevity, ensuring the final image is suitable for heritage trusts, public submissions, and conservation portfolios.
- I work carefully and respectfully within sensitive spaces, delivering high-resolution images that are technically accurate and visually compelling.
Luxury Hospitality & Commercial Spaces
York’s thriving tourism market relies on stunning interiors and memorable spaces.
- I specialize in photography for hotels, boutique retail outlets, and luxury residential projects, capturing the atmosphere that attracts high-end clientele.
- This involves meticulous styling and lighting control to highlight materials – from the wood and stone of an old building to the clean finishes of a modern fit-out.
- My work ensures your space is perceived as sophisticated and welcoming, driving interest for both investors and visitors.
Your York Project is an Investment
When you commission me, you are getting the commitment of a Yorkshire-based expert who understands the value of local context combined with international standards of quality.
- I Value Time: Being local allows me to be highly flexible with scheduling, meaning we can capture your project during the ideal ‘golden hour’ light or during necessary ‘off-peak’ times required for hospitality clients.
- I Respect the Brief: I work closely with you to understand your core goals – whether it’s securing planning approval for a sensitive site or attracting guests to a new hotel. I tailor my shoot to meet those exact visual targets.
- I Deliver Excellence: You avoid the travel costs and complex logistics of hiring a distant photographer, while still receiving a consistent, award-winning standard of technical photography that makes your work look its absolute best.
I have photographed thousands of properties globally and still find the architecture of York inspiring. Let’s discuss how I can bring your York project to life.
