About Us

Welcome to Jeffrey S Austin LLC, your source for photographing the built environment. I am dedicated to giving you the absolute best of architectural photography, including commercial, industrial, institutional, governmental, and infrastructure. My job is not to take simple pictures to enhance my company but to take the best image files I can and then create the absolute best photographs that highlight your building or project. You are the client and not me.

My photographic journey started in 1970 when I received a Nikon F with the Photomic meter for my 10th birthday and shot many rolls of Kodachrome then and a few were even published. I’ve come a long way since then and so has photography as well. Even though I still have a couple of Nikon film cameras I have gone to digital for my commercial work.

My experience with architecture is from the inside as I have been a journeyman carpenter and professional firefighter for most of my life. I have been stationed at numerous points around the world while in the military which introduced me to architectural designs that many would never get a chance to see. I have a particularly innovative idea of what does and does not look good in terms of a photograph, but I have no problem asking the architect what he or she wants to show in the photograph.

I started this firm in April 2020 as the pandemic started gaining strength and while business has been incredibly slow, but every veteran can overcome every challenge presented to them. has come a long way from its beginnings in Detroit Michigan. When I first started out, my passion for photography is so that Jeffrey S Austin LLC can offer you the absolute best.

The firm is an SDVOSB or Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business and is SWaM certified in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

Thank you for visiting the website.

Sincerely,

Jeffrey S Austin
