Peter Kubilus is involved with the Architecture League of New York, the Center for Architecture and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. He’s had the privilege of working with some of the most acclaimed architecture firms and emerging interior design talents as well.
Peter prefers to photograph the proper ‘old school’ way. Using lights to stage correctly. He believes lighting creates texture, balance and a tad of drama. Staging properly eliminates the need for Photoshop in post production.
