Join G. Lyon Photography for a Lunch & Learn that unpacks how to effectively use Architectural Photography to differentiate your projects from the competition. Geoffrey Lyon brings over 25 years of AEC experience, seven as an Architect and 20 as an Architectural Photographer. Throughout his career, he has developed insights to help streamline your photographic process to ensure the multi-year projects your team has designed and constructed are captured to showcase their distinction.
Geoff is joined by his business Principal Jennifer Murray, MBA, who provides essential business practices for scheduling, licensing, copyright, and usage rights in the industry. Geoffrey and Jennifer are architecturally trained at the University of Houston Hines College of Architecture and together highlight the intersection of architectural photography best practices and ethical marketing to maximize the presentation and ongoing revenue generation from your AEC projects.
