Architectural Photographer Melbourne
Melbourne-based architectural photographer Ian ten Seldam works with Victorian architects, designers and developers to create refined, considered imagery of the built environment. His work focuses on clarity, light and spatial intent - documenting architecture in a way that is both technically precise and visually restrained.
From contemporary residential projects in Melbourne's inner suburbs to large-scale commercial developments, Ian photographs architecture with an understanding of proportion, materiality and atmosphere. Each commission is approached collaboratively, ensuring the final imagery reflects the architect's vision and the integrity of the design.
Architectural Photography for Architects & Designers
Strong architectural photography does more than document a project - it communicates design thinking.
Ian works with Melbourne architecture studios to produce imagery for:
Awards submissions
Publications and editorial features
Studio portfolios
Websites and marketing campaigns
Developer and builder documentation
With careful attention to natural light, timing and composition, each project is photographed to convey both the overall form and the finer material details that define the space.
Residential & Commercial Architecture
Ian photographs a range of project types across Melbourne and regional Victoria, including:
Residential Architecture Private homes, multi-residential developments and architectural renovations.
Commercial Projects Workplaces, hospitality venues, retail spaces and public buildings.
Interior Architecture Spaces where light, texture and spatial flow are central to the experience of the design.
Each project is approached with sensitivity to context - considering how the building sits within its environment and how it is experienced by those who use it.
A Considered Approach
Architectural photography requires patience and precision. Ian plans each shoot around optimal lighting conditions and works methodically on site to ensure alignment, perspective control and material accuracy.
Post-production is handled with the same care as the capture process, maintaining natural tones and architectural integrity while refining contrast and balance. The result is imagery that feels authentic, composed and enduring.
