Commercial Exteriors Photography
A commercial building has to sell itself before anyone walks through the door. Gil Stose photographs retail storefronts, corporate campuses, financial branches, and hospitality exteriors for brands including Lacoste, Ritz-Carlton, Marriott Bonvoy, and Windstar Cruises, built on decades of experience meeting the demands of developers, brand marketing teams, and the architectural press.
A Building That Has to Perform
Commercial architecture photography answers to a different client than residential work — a brand, a developer, an institution — and the image has to do a job: communicate identity, signal quality, and read clearly at a glance. Gil Stose brings the same technical rigor from his editorial architecture work to commercial exteriors, where facade, signage, materials, and site context all have to reinforce a single impression.
That standard is what has carried his commercial work to brands including Lacoste, Ritz-Carlton, Marriott Bonvoy, and Windstar Cruises, and into publications such as Architectural Digest and Forbes.
What Commercial Exterior Photography Covers
This range spans a Lacoste retail exterior in a shopping center to a skyscraper facade in Milan or Bilbao, and reflects the same underlying skill: reading how a large-scale structure will be experienced by the people walking toward it.

Retail is one of the most demanding categories in commercial exteriors photography — a shopping mall, retail plaza, or outlet center has to read clearly from a distance and still hold up as a brand image up close. Gil Stose photographs retail properties including shopping malls, outlet centers, and individual storefronts — from a Lacoste flagship location to large-format retail developments such as Simon Malls properties — for retail brands, mall operators, and commercial developers who need retail photography that performs across marketing, leasing, and press use.
