About Doublespace Photography
Toronto architectural photographers Doublespace Photography = Amanda + Younes. We make simple, bold and elegant architectural photography. Our creative vision is the product of our combined experience and diametrically opposed backgrounds; amanda is trained as an architect and worked in the field for five years, while younes is a former biologist-turned-landscape-photographer. A unique proposition on the Canadian market, our strength lies in bringing two photographers to every shoot. We alternate between covering each project from two distinct angles and collaborating behind the camera to push each other for an even more refined product. The result is beautiful imagery that showcases your designs in the best possible light. Our work has helped our clients garner several prestigious awards, including several Governor General Gold Medals in Architecture, Ontario’s Lieutenant Governor’s Award for Design Excellence, the Chicago Athenaeum Architecture award as well as numerous global, national and provincial accolades.
