Commercial Interior Photography at the University of Calgary – Haskayne School of Business


I recently had the opportunity to photograph a commercial interior project at the University of Calgary – Haskayne School of Business, and it was a perfect example of how thoughtful architecture and interior design come together to support learning, collaboration, and innovation.

As a commercial and architectural photographer, projects like this are where I truly thrive—capturing not just how a space looks, but how it functions, feels, and flows.


Showcasing a Modern Academic Interior


The Haskayne School of Business features bright, contemporary interiors designed to encourage connection and productivity. Clean lines, intentional material choices, and generous use of natural light define the space—making it both visually striking and highly functional.


During this interior photo shoot, my focus was on:

  • Highlighting spatial flow and layout
  • Capturing the balance between open collaborative areas
  • Showcasing architectural details, finishes, and lighting design
  • Creating imagery suitable for marketing, publications, and institutional branding



Every angle was composed to reflect how students, faculty, and visitors experience the space in real life.

Why Professional Interior Photography Matters for Universities

For educational institutions, high-quality commercial interior photography is essential. These images are used across:

  • University websites and program pages
  • Marketing and recruitment materials
  • Annual reports and publications
  • Social media and press features

Professional photography helps convey credibility, innovation, and pride in the built environment—all critical elements for attracting students, faculty, and partners.

My Approach to Commercial & Institutional Interior Photography


At Maia Sokolic Photography, I approach commercial interior photography with both a creative and technical mindset.

With a background in architecture, civil engineering and design, I pay close attention to:

  • Correct verticals and perspective
  • Accurate color representation
  • Clean compositions that respect the architect’s intent
  • Lighting that enhances the atmosphere without overpowering it

Whether photographing universities, offices, healthcare facilities, or commercial spaces, my goal is to create timeless, polished imagery that tells the story of the space.
