A food blog dedicated to the Kansas City commercial photography studio - Alistair Tutton Photography
A year or two ago I had the privilege of travelling to Hutchinson, KS to photograph the vocational school there for DLR Group - it was a lovely shoot and definitely one for the books. So last fall we got to go back to Hutchinson, visit the Cosmosphere and photograph some beautiful architecture - I love the tree-like trusses in the lobby.

DLR Group just got a beeeeeaaaaautiful new office space in Omaha, designed and owned by them. It’s pretty darn gorgeous. Last fall, we made the trip up there, while the whole of I-29 was submerged, and got the chance to photograph it for posterity. The interiors and exteriors are lovely, but I have to admit the roof angle was my favorite - glad someone had a hold of the back of my pants!

And for my second uber large high school project I got to fly out and photograph the new Oak Ridge High School in Oak Ridge, TN. It’s a fantastic project by DLR Group here in Kansas City. I had four long days to shoot and fly back and it took every minute with a couple of my favorite shots coming right at the end. This one weighs in at a portly 360,000 square feet (I think).

Samantha is an incredible designer and a fabulous client; plus she’s English so we don’t need a translator to work together! But on a serious note the Spa project was a fantastic interior and I’m really excited at the future interiors we’ll be photographing together this year.
“Working with Alistair on "The Spa Tuscano” shoot was a joy: pure and simple.“
"His obvious love of photography shines through in both his personality and his work. Alistair’s attention to every detail, his patience, and his understanding of the personal investment a designer has in a project makes him one of, if not the best, photographer I have had the pleasure of working with.”
“I know that even if I am not awake at the crack of dawn shoot, Alistair will make sure that we get the best shot with the best light and that it will be staged perfectly. Our goals for the shoot are Alistair’s goals and I have no doubt that he will always ensure that those goals are not just met, but exceeded.”
“Alistair captured the essence and beauty of the Spa and did it right the first time ~ without the need for digital enhancement. This, along with his amazing talent, sets him apart in my opinion.”
“I consider Alistair an important part of our team and I am looking forward to completing more projects with him in the future.”

Stephen and I just finished a mammoth undertaking of formalizing the relationship of DLR Group with their existing and future photographers; the purpose of which is to ensure high quality imagery that is delivered in a timely fashion. It was great fun to help produce the piece and I think it will help the whole group nationally.
“Alistair has been a fabulous resource to me in my education on the special nuances of digital photography and how the end product differs compared to the scans from transparencies I was previously acquainted with.”
“He was always willing to field my many pesky questions quickly, all with good cheer and humor. Not only was he able to get me to understand the issues involved, but he did it in a way I could pass on to other people, some of whom with no previous experience of the photographic process so they could understand and apply that information as well.
"This knowledge was a tremendous aid in our push to improve marketing efforts – once you got past his accent, of course.”

DLR Group invited me to photograph their new Spa Tuscano project. It’s a beautiful interior, very delicately designed and I’ve got to say a great place to get a Spa treatment.
