“Bradley Wheeler’s photographic skills are truly extraordinary; he can take an architecturally dull $9 million building, work his magic, and make it look like a $15 million show stopper --- and then write authoritatively about the images he created.”

Linda Pollari, Principal, P XS, Los Angeles

“Bradley photographed our ‘off-use’ project two different times, three years apart, and captured unique views of the project each time. The project has both won awards and been published through Bradley’s photography, including being featured in the California HOME+DESIGN centerfold. ‘Off-use’ is my own office and home, so I was able to watch Bradley at work. Bradley is dedicated to his craft, has a keen eye and is a pleasure to spend time with!”

Joe Day, Principal, Deegan Day Design, Silver Lake, California

“Bradley Wheeler's photography and commentary made the decisive difference in the
documentation and publication of our most extensive residential work. Bradley made
great decisions about how, what and when to shoot and was tireless about getting the
best images possible. He's a pleasure to work with.”

W.I.Van Campen, AIA, Principal, Van Campen Architects, New York City

“Bradley possesses the benefit of writing articles about the modern architecture he
photographs. The quality images he took for us precisely communicate the design intent. His article guides the reader through the project and successfully highlights important aspects helpful in evaluating our work. Bradley’s service plays a fundamental role in our marketing efforts.”

“Bradley’s work strikes a wonderful balance of conveying the “big picture” while also revealing the quiet detail and underlying significance of a project. Bradley’s effervescent nature combined with his talented skill set and knowledge of architecture, photography, video and writing has enabled our work to be further published locally, nationally and internationally.”

Eddie Jones, AIA, Principal, Jones Studio Inc., Phoenix

“I recently had the pleasure of working with Mr. Bradley Wheeler and I found the experience to be both enriching and educational. His professionalism, humor and obvious journalistic skills give him a particularly effective talent for architectural communication. I recall how impressed I felt with his ability to photograph, video, interview and then write with a confidence usually associated with an advanced age!
I also found his willingness to sustain hard work for long hours to be enviable and I was more than happy for it not to be my responsibility! I would suggest to any architect aspiring to spread his or her message worldwide (literally around the world) to persuade Mr. Wheeler to be on your side… he makes things happen!”

John F. Kane AIA, Principal, Architekton, Phoenix

"Bradley has a wonderful way of writing about contemporary architecture that is accessible to architects and non-architects alike. His photography syncs with his writing and helps convey our projects in a clearly understandable and passionate way. His ability to provide us international exposure has added a new dimension to our reputation."

Walker Li, Chief Editor, Chinese & Overseas Architecture, Shanghai

“Mr. Bradley Wheeler is one of the most important editors outside China for our magazine, and a very enthusiastic advisor for us. He has sent us a lot of marvelous projects, and many of his photographs are used as covers! His work is really helpful, I appreciate sincerely!”

Kelley Cheng, Editor / Ish + Editorial Director/Page One Publishing, Singapore

“Bradley Wheeler is certainly one of my favorite contributors – he has a good eye in photography and always makes sure that the images he provides are of the best quality for publishing and print. He takes time to understand our magazine, and the architectural projects he selects are always appropriate for the magazine so it is good because I never have to turn him down! Most importantly, Bradley always makes it a point to take his deadlines seriously and he is always on time, which is something every editor values.”

Fernando Diez, Director Editorial, Summa+ / Barzón, Buenos Aires

“When we receive material for publishing in Summa+, I am delighted by the quality. The photographs are really good, catching the often difficult light, and revealing the quality of surface. Bradley Wheeler confirms his good eye selecting quality work and his talent as critic, conveying complex situations of context and climate in which the projects are developed. It is not that common for us, as editors, to receive such a complete collaboration, both written and photographic.”

David Tyda, Editor, Desert Living Magazine, Phoenix

“Finding someone who can photograph architecture and write about it in the same stroke is a rarity. Bradley Wheeler is one of these people. His first-person accounts of capturing architecture gives his pieces a humanistic angle that makes the projects come alive in print (great images helped too).”

Patricia Patkau, Principal, Patkau Architects, Vancouver, British Columbia

“Bradley: I wanted to write you and let you know how much we have appreciated your work in regard to the publication of our projects. Your contacts internationally have allowed us access to a diverse selection of magazines and worldwide venues. Such international exposure in a variety of fine magazines from diverse countries has been terrific. We have particularly appreciated the exposure in Asia where we had not previously made contacts. Needless to say this has been very helpful to the practice. We wanted to thank you again for all your hard work in this regard.”

Edward Suzuki Architect, Principal, Edward Suzuki Associates, Tokyo

Tad Tsukamoto, AIA, Principal, Intrinsik Architecture Inc., Bozeman, Montana

Roger Hirsch, AIA, Principal, Roger Hirsch Architect, New York City 

"Bradley has the rare ability to grasp an architect's ideas and to convey that in his writing, while simultaneously managing to portray the clients who actually inhabit these spaces; he is able to see architecture and design from both points of view. He also knows how to make sure that his creative vision for a story becomes reality, by achieving articles that are beautifully presented within prestigious international publications. His work is a great marketing tool, and I am always proud to present it to potential clients as part of our portfolio."

Michael B. Lehrer, FAIA, Principal, Lehrer Architects, Silver Lake, California

“Bradley Wheeler's voice as an architectural writer is both articulate and spot on. He is, at once, comprehensive and succinct. He nails essences and details. He places projects--precisely and engagingly--in their historical, geographic, stylistic, and human context. He knows architecture. When reading his descriptions of our work, I am amazed and pleased that he--or anyone--so gets it. He is a rare and valuable writer.”

Ray H. Dovell, AIA, Principal, Platt Byard Dovell White Architects, New York City

“Bradley has written two very insightful articles for us. He goes the extra mile to ensure that the perspectives of everyone involved in our buildings, both designers and clients, are included, then he translates them into a story that is accessible and enjoyable to audiences both here and abroad.”

David Kranz, AIA, LEED AP, Design Principal, SmithGroup, Phoenix

"Bradley Wheeler took a few quality images and a very technical, to-the-point architectural description for SmithGroup's U.S. Arid-Land Agricultural Research Center project and crafted a truly superb article and layout for the Italian magazine OF ARCH.  SmithGroup Inc., ranking as the nation's 7th largest architecture and engineering firm with offices in ten U.S. cities, is extremely proud of this award winning project and was anxious to share it with other designers and architecture aficionados around the world.  As the project's designer, I felt Brad did an excellent job of communicating the soul of the project though an articulate exploration of the challenges faced and overcome in a 5 year long design and construction process." 

Sallie Trout, Artist/Designer, Trout Studios, Dripping Springs, Texas

“Bradley: I wanted to send you a note of thanks. I saw the article you wrote about this house in Design Diffusion News in Italy and am thrilled. It is extremely well written and manages to give a pitch perfect voice to the efforts in designing and building the space.  The sense of whimsey is articulated with equal deference to the utility and environmental aspects of the project. It is a tremendous boon to be able to have the work shown in Italy; a direct result of your efforts.
Tante mille grazie / Many thanks”

Teresa Rosano, Principal, Ibarra Rosano Design Architects, Tucson

“Bradley' s writing style has been very compatible with our work. He has been able to capture and communicate the subtleties of our architecture to the readers of various international magazines, with an understanding of the important aspects of siting, environmental sensitivity and precise programming we employ in our designs. We have benefited from the exposure he has provided us, and always look forward to working with him.”
