Round Three Photography is the studio of architectural and commercial photographer Lauren Gryniewski.
(It's easier than it looks: grin-ESS-key.)

Bio
LaurenGryniewskiHeadshot.jpg

I've loved taking photos as long as I can remember. In my closet, there are boxes upon boxes of experimental images that I took with kid-friendly cameras in the early 90s, each carefully paired with their negatives, that I can't bring myself to throw away. Photos through plane windows. Photos of my childhood bedroom. Themed photos of my guinea pig dressed up in costumes. I just loved the magic of capturing a moment followed by the anticipation of waiting to see how it would turn out.

Now, my passion lies in documenting the beauty of spaces and places. I love telling the story of what makes a thoughtfully crafted environment special, and creating images that make people feel as if they've experienced it firsthand.

 

I'm based in the Twin Cities, and available to travel. I shoot for a wide range of clients, including architecture and interior design firms, publications, commercial developers, brands and corporations, advertising agencies, cities and park boards, restaurants, and hotels and resorts.

I grew up in Toledo, Ohio and I've also lived in Miami, Richmond, Seattle, and San Francisco. Before Round Three, I worked as an advertising art director, stationery manufacturer, and gift shop owner. In my free time, I enjoy working on personal photography projects, gardening, and traveling with my family.

What people are saying

“Lauren is a consummate professional. Collaborative by nature, we have enjoyed working with her on multiple shoots. Her communication skills have made the process efficient, smooth, and effortless. She has a natural gift for anticipating light and volume transitions throughout any time of year or day, and an exceptional eye for all the right angles, resulting in magazine cover-worthy photography.

Lauren is an absolute pleasure to work with. I was amazed by how quickly she understood the environment and found the best moments to showcase. Her ability to highlight how the space is experienced adds incredible depth to the images. Above all, she is a fantastic communicator, making the entire process seamless and enjoyable. I highly recommend her for architectural and landscape photography!
