Real photography. Future architecture.
We place proposed buildings into real drone and site photography, matching perspective, scale, sunlight, shadows, color, and atmosphere to create a convincing view of the finished project.
Before & after
Explore two types of professional compositing: an architectural visualization placed into aerial site photography and branded cosmetics integrated into a real laboratory scene.
A proposed industrial building is camera-matched to its real construction site, replacing the unfinished structure while retaining the surrounding roads, vehicles, buildings, and landscape.

Branded skincare bottles and jars are integrated into a working laboratory scene, transforming a generic photograph into campaign-ready product imagery.

Clear definition
Architectural compositing—also called architectural photomontage, CGI photo compositing, or photo-matched rendering—is the process of integrating a proposed 3D building into a real photograph of its site.
Unlike a fully computer-generated scene, a composite retains the authenticity of the existing location. Our artists reconstruct the camera, align the building to the correct position and scale, simulate the photographed light, add realistic contact shadows and reflections, mask foreground objects, and grade the final image as one coherent photograph.
Show planning boards, municipalities, and stakeholders how a proposal relates to neighboring buildings, roads, landscape, and the wider site.
Create credible presale, leasing, website, brochure, billboard, and campaign images before construction is complete.
Evaluate massing, façades, materials, rooflines, signage, landscaping, and visibility from selected real-world viewpoints.
Place warehouses, data centers, residential communities, campuses, and masterplans into high-resolution drone photography.
Integrate new architecture into pedestrian, roadside, neighborhood, or skyline photographs with matched perspective.
Replace, extend, or reclad parts of an existing property while retaining everything outside the proposed scope.
We analyze horizon, vanishing points, lens behavior, image dimensions, site geometry, and available location data to reconstruct the photograph's viewpoint.
Your model—or one we create from drawings—is positioned at accurate scale. Materials, façade details, landscape, and site elements are refined for the chosen view.
Lighting, shadows, reflections, atmospheric depth, occlusion, masking, retouching, and color grading unify the rendered proposal with the original photograph.
Service snapshot
A high-resolution site or drone photo, CAD/BIM/SketchUp/3D model or architectural drawings, site dimensions, camera location if known, material references, and landscaping information.
High-resolution final composites for web and print, alternate façade or material options, annotated planning views, and campaign-ready crops in requested formats.
Real estate developers, architects, planning consultants, industrial and data center teams, construction companies, property marketers, brokers, and public agencies.
Quick answers
It is the process of inserting a proposed 3D building or development into a real site photograph. Perspective, scale, lighting, shadows, color, atmosphere, and foreground details are matched so the result looks photographed rather than added.
The most useful inputs are a high-resolution site or drone photograph, architectural drawings or a 3D model, site dimensions, the camera location when available, material references, landscaping information, and the intended output size. If some inputs are unavailable, we can review the project and recommend a practical approach.
Yes. We can camera-match a proposed building, campus, or masterplan to aerial drone imagery and integrate it using realistic sunlight, shadows, occlusion, atmospheric depth, color grading, and site retouching.
Common uses include planning submissions, investor decks, leasing and presales, construction communication, public consultation, brochures, websites, billboards, and advertising campaigns.
Yes. Because the proposed architecture is built or supplied as a 3D model, we can produce controlled revisions such as façade materials, building colors, signage, landscaping, lighting, or selected design changes while retaining the matched camera.
Send us your site photograph and available drawings or model. We will review the viewpoint, source files, intended use, and delivery requirements.
