JEFF RIGGINS

As a kid, I spent countless hours drawing floor plans of imaginary buildings (I still have some of those drawings!). In high school, I excelled in every art and drafting class, driven by a passion for creativity and design. I knew I wanted to pursue a career in the arts, particularly in architecture.

​

After high school, I started my journey toward becoming an architect. But, as they say, life happens. I spent years working in the painting and construction field before transitioning to a career in law enforcement, putting my dream of working in the arts on hold for the next 16 years.

Steve Jobs once said, “You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backward.” Looking back now, I see how one dot led to another, bringing me full circle to where I am today. Through photography, I get to live out my passion for architecture and design by showcasing stunning residential and commercial spaces.

​

Every project I photograph feels like a blend of my lifelong love for the arts and my respect for the craftsmanship of architecture. It’s a privilege to capture the beauty and detail of these spaces, sharing their stories through my lens.
