Fuhrman Float
Architectural Photography & Film
This project documents a newly constructed floating residence designed by Troy Hussing of ECCO Architecture & Design, approached through an editorial lens. My work focused on architectural storytelling—capturing proportion, materiality, and the home’s quiet indoor–outdoor rhythm through a restrained mix of wide compositions, intimate detail studies, and short-form film. The resulting imagery emphasizes restraint over excess, allowing the architecture to feel calm, intentional, and lived-in, much like the experience of being on the water itself.
“Water is the driving force of all nature.”
— Leonardo da Vinci
This short-form film was created to complement the stills and convey rhythm, movement, and light.
“At the shore, everything is simple.”

Word on the street
“Mallory brings a refined creative eye and a thoughtful approach to her work. She listened closely to our vision and captured our floating home project with care and intention, resulting in thoughtful, beautiful images that feel both timeless and really tell the story of the space. We were truly pleased with the outcome.”
— Troy Hussing
“I can’t say enough good things about working with Mallory MacDonald. She brought an incredible level of care and artistry to every shot — not just photographing the home, but truly seeing it. She took the time to capture individualized angles, light, and details that made the property feel elevated, intentional, and unique. The final gallery was stunning, and I’m genuinely excited to work with her again.”

“Mallory’s work consistently exceeds expectations. Her home and architectural photography is in a class of its own. Unlike many real estate photographers who rely on wide-angle shots and spend less than an hour on site, Mallory invests hours carefully composing each image to capture the true essence and feeling of a space. Her attention to detail and artistic eye bring interiors to life in a way that resonates with viewers. Mallory’s work is not just photography; it’s storytelling that elevates every project she touches.”
