Charter School, Post-Construction Photography – September 2020

Homestead, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania
Charter School Remodel
Post Construction Photography
September 2020

For this Post-Construction photography project ALL PRO USA was asked to go to Homestead, PA to the Waterfront to the old Macy’s building. The contractor was renovating the old Macy’s Building for a charter school on the bottom floor. This was the focus for the job that we had to complete. The contractor had tasked the team that was on site to capture specific viewpoints throughout the building. Prior to the start of the documentation we had met with a member of the contractors team. She took us through the building and showed us exactly what was done throughout the building by their people. As the team went room to room they started to evaluate the best way to capture each of the rooms. After walking through the entire building the team split up to ensure that they would not get in each others way. For these types of shoots it can be challenging if there is a lot of activity around the photographer. Most of the time we end up using long exposures that help capture the room properly. If someone were to walk through the frame it would blur the image where they were walking. So this posed a challenge and required awareness and communication to ensure that none of the photos were ruined and if something did happen they were reshot.
