Because he is a registered architect and keen artist he always captures the necessary and vital details of my buildings. He is a true friend and colleague. **Comment from Gilbertson Photography:** > It's an honor to be involved with your projects, Kerrik. **★★★★★ — TJ Haugrud, Jan. 2019** > Scott does an amazing job of show casing our work, his knowledge and back ground of Architecture really helps when capturing the details. Thanks Scott for making our work look great!! **★★★★★ — Box Bend, LLC, March 2016** > We rely upon projects that use our materials to inspire and delight. The representation of those projects in print and media is mission critical. The work of Gilbertson Photography hits the mark every time. > > We have also found Gilbertson Photography to be professional, reasonable and extremely easy to work with on projects nationwide. **★★★★★ — Lucy Interior Design, Feb. 2016** > Scott is super to work with. He is patient to capture just the right shot, he is very accommodating with tight deadlines and attentive to design details, and is efficient with his time. Scott's kind and pleasant attitude is so refreshing in a crazy business of styling and photographing interiors. Moving that same pillow one more inch doesn't phase him. Scott captured our Food Network kitchens perfectly and photographed the gallery install for my graduate thesis beautifully. All of us at Lucy Interior Design highly recommend Gilbertson Photography for your next project. **★★★★★ — Stahl Architects & Builders, July 2015** > Scott turned what I thought were poor conditions for shooting into gold. He knows his craft in photography, getting the right angle, right height, best composition. Architects are extremely finicky and want their photos just so. Since Scott himself is an architect, his photography shines above the others. I would recommend Scott for anyone looking at upgrading their look, especially in architectural photography. > > Philip Stahl, AIA > Stahl Architects > Fargo ND **★★★★★ — Partners 4, Design, March 2015** > Scott is a great person and talented photographer. He has been working with our team at P4D for a several years now and we couldn't be happier. With his background in architecture, the images he sets up are to capture the work are not always the obvious ones. We would recommend him to anyone and everyone. **Comment from Gilbertson Photography:** > You are too kind, folks. It's been an honor working with you the last few years! **★★★★★ — RoehrSchmitt Architecture, Feb. 2015** > We at RoehrSchmitt Architecture have used Scott as our primary photographer for many years now and have never failed to be pleased and surprised by how thoroughly he has understood our projects and found all the right shots, the great angles, the salient details to capture not merely the physical presence of them, but something of their essence and soul. He always goes the extra mile to make sure he captures his images at the right time of day, in the most flattering weather conditions, returning numerous times if necessary to get it right. And he always seems to love what he does - which tells us that he's our kind of guy and won't stop until the job's done right, not simply by our standards, but even more importantly by his own. > > Hire this man! He's the real deal. **Comment from Gilbertson Photography:** > Thanks so much for the kind words! It's been an honor and a pleasure working with you. ## Selected projects - [A secluded, modern Wisconsin retreat](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/a-secluded-modern-wisconsin-retreat-pj-vj~1540197) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - Description: A fantastic, modern home from Wessel Design. - [A Charming Fargo Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/a-charming-fargo-home-pj-vj~1536453) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 30 - Description: A fantastic home in Fargo for an active couple that was designed by Scott Meland of Meland Architects and built to perfection by H2 Design \| Build. - [Sleek and chic on the shores of Lake Minnetonka](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sleek-and-chic-on-the-shores-of-lake-minnetonka-pj-vj~1481957) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 24 - Description: http://www.houzz.com/pro/partners4designminneapolis/partners-4-design A sleek design by Partners 4, Design and architects Streeter and Associates. - [Burnham House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/burnham-house-pj-vj~888498) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - Description: A fantastic house by RoehrSchmitt Architects in Minneapolis. - [Clean and bright kitchen and laundry room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/clean-and-bright-kitchen-and-laundry-room-pj-vj~1481892) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 16 - Description: http://www.houzz.com/pro/partners4designminneapolis/partners-4-design Another gem from the folks at Partners 4, Design in Minneapolis. - [A sleek, modern, updated kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/a-sleek-modern-updated-kitchen-pj-vj~1479768) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 18 - Description: http://www.houzz.com/pro/partners4designminneapolis/partners-4-design - [Big, bold, and beautiful kitchen.](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/big-bold-and-beautiful-kitchen-pj-vj~1479722) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 28 - Description: http://www.houzz.com/pro/partners4designminneapolis/partners-4-design - [Downtown condo kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/downtown-condo-kitchen-pj-vj~1479712) - Location: Minneapolis, MN - Photos: 17 - Description: http://www.houzz.com/pro/partners4designminneapolis/partners-4-design - [Minneapolis Condo Kitchen, Bar, Fireplace](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/minneapolis-condo-kitchen-bar-fireplace-pj-vj~1479691) - Location: Minneapolis, MN - Photos: 18 - Description: Another crisp design by Partners 4, Design in Minneapolis http://www.houzz.com/pro/partners4designminneapolis/partners-4-design - [Two Bathroooms](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/two-bathroooms-pj-vj~1329214) - Location: Inver Grove Heights, MN - Photos: 6 - Description: Project:: Partners 4, Design, 2015 Architect:: John B.A. Idstrom II, AIA, CID, Allied ASID Designer: James T.
