Architectural Photography at The Shops At Crystals at The Aria Hotel Las Vegas by Daniel Libeskind
In early November, I was in Las Vegas for a real estate photography conference and had the privilege to attend a photography workshop given by Ema Peter, a world renown architectural photographer. We were able to go to two different locations throughout Las Vegas and learn about Emma’s approach and philosophy when shooting architecture. I was also able to bring my camera and capture shots of the two amazing locations. The first location was The Shops at Crystals at the Aria Hotel. The second was the Cleveland Clinic and I will post those in a later article
The Shops at Crystals, located within the ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, showcases a blend of luxury retail and avant-garde architecture designed by the renowned architect Daniel Libeskind. This high-end shopping destination offers a unique experience that seamlessly combines fashion and design.
Libeskind, known for his distinctive, bold architectural style, has created a space that goes beyond the traditional shopping mall. The crystalline structure of the building reflects his signature angular and dynamic approach to design. The exterior features faceted glass panels that capture and refract light, creating a dazzling play of reflections and shadows.
Inside, visitors are greeted with a sense of openness and sophistication. The interior spaces are characterized by soaring ceilings and expansive storefronts that allow natural light to flood the retail spaces. The layout of the shops, adorned with contemporary art installations, adds an extra layer of cultural richness to the overall atmosphere.
The Shops at Crystals not only offer a world-class shopping experience but also serve as a testament to Daniel Libeskind's ability to blend art and architecture seamlessly. The result is a visually stunning and sophisticated space that elevates the act of shopping into a truly immersive and luxurious affair. I tried my best to capture Daniel’s style and vision in the final photographs.
Enjoy a collection of some of my favorite shots from the first part of the workshop day!
