Reviews

“Marc has maintained a long standing working relationship with the preservation architecture and design firm I’ve worked with in Manhattan. As a talented photographer with multifaceted experience, Marc balances his intuition and natural eye with sharp technical skill and accuracy. As a professional capable of handling complex schedules and budgets, he offers a unique combination of clarity and organization with flexibility and understanding. The result is consistently impressive images, captured and delivered by someone who clearly loves what they do.”

“Marc did a great job with photographing and editing photos of a housing community. His price was reasonable and he was incredibly responsive prior to the shoot.”

— Heather Y.  | Major Developer of Affordable Housing in the Northeast

“Working with Marc was a pleasure. He replied to our photography request on thumbtack. We needed various cityscape images for a new magazine in Fairfield County, CT. Through the entire process, from working out a schedule and a location list, through delivering images, he was more than professional. We never met in person--all correspondence was email or phone, but he exceeded all deadlines and expectations. In addition, his photographs were well executed and everything we had asked for. I would definitely recommend working with Marc again.​”

“Marc worked in a timely manner to expedite all of the photos we needed to update our website. He was very helpful in editing the photos and cleaning them up for a great final product. His fees were reasonable and he is easy to work with.”

“I had an outstanding experience working with Marc on a photo shoot in New Jersey. Although it was only supposed to be a one-day engagement, this got complicated by weather and not having all the props we needed to complete the shoot. Marc was extremely flexible and creative helping to come up with solutions and coming back to the site on multiple days to get it just right. He understood what my company was looking for and helped us achieve that vision. He was very professional and pleasant to work with and turned around a completed portfolio of photos very quickly. He was also able to provide them in any digital format we needed so they were easy to share and edit. I look forward to working with him again soon!”

“We asked Marc to photograph two of our completed large scale restoration
projects on the Upper West Side of Manhattan and couldn’t be happier with his work. He is extremely communicative with his process and worked closely with us from
 start to finish to ensure high quality images. His attention to detail and
creative eye highlighted the buildings and our work in an extremely elegant
and marketable way. We are using his images for our website and other PR
materials. We have asked Marc to photograph additional buildings not only
because his end product far exceeded our expectations, but the entire
process of working with him was a very enjoyable experience.”

“Marc Harary has the rare combination of a Photographer’s eye and an Architect’s perspective. Just look at his work; not only does he capture the art and beauty of buildings and spaces, but he also shows how the facility works. I highly recommend Marc and his studio, City Architectural Photography.”

“I am an architect and have worked with Marc on many projects. He has provided effective photography that has run the gamut from architectural models, existing conditions surveys, to in-process construction photos and finished projects for our portfolio. Marc combines a strong visual understanding of architectural design and environments with the technical know how needed to produce excellent results. His images have been utilized in many architectural presentations for clients, regulatory authorities and publication on websites and in print. I have enjoyed working with Marc and would highly recommend him and his studio City Architectural Photography.”

“Marc was hired to shoot an UES townhouse our company extensively renovated. It was a 2 year project and we wanted to capture all of our work. Marc was flexible and available to meet with us within a few days of reaching out (the home was about to be sold and we needed photos to be shot ASAP). Marc arrived and shot a few preliminary shots allowing him to preview the space and plan the final shoot. The photos were taken in one day. Marc is a professional. He has an eye for details and worked hard to ensure that we captured what exactly what we wanted. He is very responsive and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Marc for your next architectural photo session.”

“We had a great, professional experience with Marc photographing a commercial building.  Built in the 1960s, the building isn’t the most beautiful architecture, so we came into the project with the idea of doing a twilight shot. Marc researched the site and advised we consider a dawn shoot because of the location/color of the building. He wasn’t pushy but had reasonable suggestions and sent maps with proposed camera angles that made us confident to select his direction - he was definitely right.  He also did some Photoshop work to remove the signage on the building. I am not local, so we did everything via phone/email, and he willingly made adjustments per my requests.  He provided final photo files much in advance of our requested delivery date. We are extremely happy with his work and value - and would certainly use him again.”
