I have watched him set up lighting and views to best showcase the design. He takes the time to do it right and the finished products bear out that fact. He always does a beautiful job capturing the essence of my designs. **★★★★★ — Designs by Cheryl, Feb. 2014** > I've had the honor to work with John on several of my design projects. I first met John 6 years ago when he did a photo shoot for House Trends featuring a home I had designed. I saw then in the beginning his talent and creativity and knowledge of lighting taking special time making sure all the details did not go unnoticed. John is such a pleasure to work with, he's a hard worker. He believes in quality work, and loves what he does. He has a special gift bringing his photography to life. I would highly recommend John to everyone > > Cheryl Jarvis/Designs by Cheryl **★★★★★ — Eddie, Sept. 2013** > John was extremely professional and fun to work with! He is very affordable! I highly recommend him! He spent 2 days making sure everything was perfect! **★★★★★ — DesignLine Home Transformations, April 2013** > Specializing in Interior, Landscape and Architectural photography John Magor has been our go-to professional for several years now. He makes our work come to life in pictures. John is a pleasure to work with professionally and personally. He is very involved in the design community and works hard for our industry. His eye for interior design, landscape and architectural photography set him aside from the rest. We are proud to use him as our company photographer! **★★★★★ — Gentle Gardener Green Design, Feb. 2013** > John's photography of Richmond Symphony Designer House & Grounds captures each designer's vision.

His work is absolutely superior. He has a great eye for composition and a terrific ability to nail the perfect lighting. He is always very professional and courteous with my clients and the images he provides are top notch and magazine worthy. **★★★★★ — minckw, Feb. 2013** > John shot the interior spaces of my store for a brochure we published and in fact are still using. He was so incredibly helpful setting up and directing the shoot and capturing the vision we wanted to present to potential customers. This was our first marketing expenditure as a new business, and John worked within our budget and delivered more than we could have hoped for. A true professional and a pleasure to work with on every level. ## Selected projects - [A Basement Wine Room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/a-basement-wine-room-pj-vj~327608) - Location: Henrico, VA - Photos: 4 - Description: In this basement, an area located next to an existing fireplace was selected for the wine room and two arched openings, surrounded by MasterCut stone with dry stack construction, were designed to separate the space from the rest of the basement. A floor to ceiling Mahogany wine rack system was installed on two walls to house their collection. A tray ceiling was constructed to add interest and painted with a copper glaze to tie into the new travertine tiled floor.

We dressed up a plain ceiling with decorative false beams and beaded boards. A large island was designed to house electricity so that appliances hidden within the cabinetry on pop-up shelves could always be on and readily available. Custom designed and built arched mullions, made by a local craftsman, were incorporated into the glass cabinet doors. This design element was also repeated in the custom-built… - [Windsor Farms Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/windsor-farms-renovation-pj-vj~385765) - Location: Richmond, VA - Photos: 25 - Description: This was a large renovation that was 2.5 years in the making adding 1500 square feet to this older home in the historic neighborhood of Windsor Farms in Richmond, VA. This home belongs to a recently blended family with five children and is the culmination of a lot of quirky personalities, travel mementos and salvage treasures!

It is a blend of traditional furnishings for the style and time period of this historic home and more contemporary accents to make it suitable for today's lifestyle.

By opening up the walls between the kitchen and dining area, as well as the kitchen and sunroom, we created a large, open space, perfect for entertaining. New white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances and beautiful granite countertops made this kitchen sparkle. To fully incorporate the sunroom into the kitchen we raised the floors and refinished the existing floors to… - [Colorful Kitchen with Exquisite Details](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/colorful-kitchen-with-exquisite-details-pj-vj~88913) - Location: Henrico, VA - Photos: 11 - Description: The owners of this traditional colonial home chose bold colors for the finishes such as bright yellow for the walls, turquoise with a rust colored glaze for the cabinetry, and weathered jet black paint for the island. Red Dragon granite was selected for the countertops to tie into the cabinetry finishes. Together these colors add warmth and help to frame the details of the exquisite tile backsplash, bright white apron front sink, and stainless steel appliances - [Bathroom Spa Retreat](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bathroom-spa-retreat-pj-vj~327677) - Location: Henrico, VA - Photos: 8 - Description: This spa-like master bathroom that we recently designed and built features a glass walk-in steam shower, complete with two shower heads and a bench, as well as a separate soaking tub.

Perfectly placed wall sconces and a picture window provide plenty of light… - [A Traditional Outdoor Living Space](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/a-traditional-outdoor-living-space-pj-vj~326749) - Location: Henrico, VA - Photos: 5 - Description: In order to completely redesign and construct a new outdoor living space for a stately brick home, special attention had to be given to the brick, stone and masonry selections and construction techniques to ensure a seamless transition from the old to the new. Oversized handmade bricks were chosen for the fireplace and surround. Porcini Travertine was selected to finish the new patio and match to the existing tiles. Lighting for this space included accent lights installed in the brick risers and… - [Elegant Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/elegant-residence-pj-vj~328404) - Location: Richmond, VA - Photos: 46 - Description: The McGeorge residence in Richmond, Virginia.

In order to construct a bigger space for all the amenities the homeowner most wanted, we removed two walls and relocated the laundry area between the kitchen and dining room, installed a recessed beam in the ceiling, and opened up the space between the kitchen and den. The desire for a larger island required the installation of additional footers, columns and a girder beneath the floor for support… - [Exquisite Kitchen Remodel by Lane Homes & Remodeling, Richmond, VA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/exquisite-kitchen-remodel-by-lane-homes-and-remodeling-richmond-va-pj-vj~173231) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [A Lot of Kitchen in a Small Space by Custom Kitchens, Inc, Richmond, VA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/a-lot-of-kitchen-in-a-small-space-by-custom-kitchens-inc-richmond-va-pj-vj~165932) - Location: Richmond, VA - Photos: 6 - Description: Custom Kitchens, Inc, of Richmond, Virginia did an amazing job of creating a light, bright, and open kitchen in a difficult space to work with. Maximizing all of the vertical space, along with glass fronts on the upper tier of cabinets and the cabinets above the sink area, and crisp, clean lines, the design gives the space the feel of a much larger kitchen. - [Contemporary Kitchen by DesignLine Home Transformations of Richmond, VA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/contemporary-kitchen-by-designline-home-transformations-of-richmond-va-pj-vj~164117) - Location: Richmond, VA - Photos: 8 - Description: A formerly dark and dreary kitchen receives an exquisite update. A complete remodel, the upper cabinets and small single window over the sink are exchanged for a large expanse of glass and light. Taller upper cabinets on the stove wall and floor to ceiling cabinets opposite the sink wall more man than make up for the lost cabinet space, and the light colors, glass fronts, and sleek lines create a sense of light and openness that the homeowner desired.
