Whether the goal is marketing, editorial, web, or print, each image is built with both artistic vision and technical precision.
Commercial and Editorial Photography for Architecture, Interiors, and Design
Gil Stose has built one of the most trusted practices in commercial photography across the United States and Caribbean — working as an architectural photographer, interiors photographer, food and beverage photographer, and product photographer for architects, designers, developers, hospitality brands, and manufacturers who need images that perform at the highest level.
His work blends clean composition, elegant lighting, and a deep understanding of design — creating photographs that showcase the craftsmanship, materials, and intent behind every space, every dish, and every product. Gil provides architectural photography, interior photography, kitchen and bath photography, food and beverage photography, aerial photography, and product photography for clients who need visuals that perform in publications, on websites, in pitch decks, at trade shows, and across every marketing channel where visual quality determines whether someone picks up the phone.
Based in San Juan, Puerto Rico with offices in New York and Miami, Gil collaborates closely with every client, no matter how big or small, to create visuals that elevate their brand and bring their work to life — and many clients say the shoot day itself is part of what brings them back, working alongside someone who makes a long production day feel easy. Whether the goal is marketing, editorial, web, or print, each image is built with both artistic vision and technical precision. His clients include architects, interior designers, developers, hospitality brands, cabinetry and surfacing manufacturers, restaurants, and editorial publications throughout the United States, Puerto Rico, the Caribbean, and the Americas.
Architectural Photography That Documents Design Intent
Great architectural photography reveals why a building was designed the way it was — the relationship between structure and site, the way light moves through a facade, the material choices that define a project’s character. Gil photographs commercial architecture, luxury residential exteriors, institutional buildings, resort and hospitality properties, and mixed-use developments across the Southeast, Puerto Rico, the Caribbean, and beyond. His architectural work has appeared in Architectural Digest, Architect Magazine, the Wall Street Journal, Dwell, and Revista Obra, where his photography appeared on the March 2026 cover.
Every architectural assignment can include FAA Part 107 certified aerial and drone photography integrated directly with ground-level coverage — exteriors, aerials, interiors, and detail shots delivered as a single, editorially consistent set. For architects submitting to AIA Awards or publications requiring context shots, legal commercial drone coverage is essential.
Interior Design, Kitchen & Bath Photography
Gil’s interior and furnishings photography captures the quality of light, the texture of materials, and the spatial flow that defines how people live and work in a room. He has photographed interiors for Sasha Adler Design, Harrison Design Associates, Windstar Cruises, Ritz-Carlton, Airbnb Luxe Caribbean, Old Edwards Inn and Spa, and dozens of residential and hospitality clients from San Juan to Atlanta to Vero Beach.
Kitchen and bath photography is a core specialty. His photography has been trusted by SieMatic, Spogue Kitchens and Bath, William Ohs, Kitchen Craft, KraftMaid, Crystal, Yorktowne, Bell Cabinetry, MasterBrands, and American Woodmark, plus surfacing brands including Silestone, Cosentino, Cambria, Caesarstone, and Technistone. His kitchen and bath work appears regularly at KBIS and has been used in national advertising, catalogs, and trade publications.
Food, Product, and Lifestyle Photography
Gil’s food and beverage photography has been commissioned by Madison’s Restaurant in Highlands, Sophie’s Restaurant in San Juan, Cocina Abierta, Wolfgang Puck Express, and YOLO Restaurant. He photographs plated dishes, cocktail programs, kitchen environments, and dining room atmospheres for menus, websites, social media, editorial submissions, and advertising. Product and still life photography serves manufacturers and brands who need catalog, e-commerce, and trade show imagery. Lifestyle photography provides the human element hospitality brands and residential developers need to connect with prospective guests and buyers.
A Career Built in Production, Not Just Photography
Gil’s career started in film production, live television, international fashion, and feature films, and he was admitted to a professional directors organization early in his career. That production background — planning a shoot, anticipating problems before they happen, managing complex logistics on location, delivering a final product that meets the brief exactly — is what separates his commercial photography from photographers who learned composition but not production. It’s also part of why clients so often describe working with him as easy, calm, and genuinely enjoyable, even on the longest shoot days.
Over the years, Gil has photographed Ernest Hemingway’s home in Cuba, Francis Ford Coppola’s estate in Belize, and Dick Clark’s residence in Turks and Caicos. He has photographed Airbnb Luxe Caribbean listings and Ritz-Carlton properties, a verified member of the AIAP, and a GSA provider. His work has been published in 14 books and over 45 magazines, with hundreds of individual editorial features across shelter, design, hospitality, food, and trade publications.
Serving Puerto Rico, the Caribbean, the Southeast, and clients across the United States, Gil provides architectural exterior photography, interior design photography, kitchen & bath portfolio work, commercial and corporate environment photography, and large-scale project documentation.
