Take a Look Inside the New Ed Robson Arena at Colorado College

The Unfound Door • December 8, 2021

Take a look inside the new Robson Arena and Yalich Student Center at Colorado College!


This arena is a multi-purpose, state-of-the-art, sustainable sporting event venue that benefits both the college and the City of Colorado Springs by offering a space for a variety of events, including Olympic events. The arena will also further Colorado College’s commitment to sustainable design with a carbon-neutral, net-zero energy goal.


We originally completed photography for Concepts in Millwork at the Robson Arena right as they completed construction, and recently had the pleasure of returning to capture even more of the beautiful spaces inside the arena and the student center for the project’s general contractor, Nunn Construction. 


"Ely and her team at TheUnfoundDoor were an absolute breeze to work with. From start to finish, the whole experience was professional and very organized. Their upfront coordination was highly impressive; asking the right questions on my expectations for the photos which instantly put me at ease. I felt confident that getting photos of our highly complex project with multiple user groups was in good hands. Some unforeseen conditions popped up the day of the shoot and they went above and beyond to coordinate the rest of the shots from my list while I was out of town, staying in touch with me the whole time. Delivery of the finished photos was made easy through their online gallery system. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend TheUnfoundDoor to any firm in the AEC industry looking for high-quality project photography and can’t wait to work with Ely and her team on another shoot!" - Rachel Short, Marketing Manager for Nunn Construction


Nothing brings us more joy than hearing feedback like these, and getting to be a part of cool projects with you. 


“It is hard to put into words what this means for our campus and community,” Colorado College Vice President and Director of Athletics Lesley Irvine said during an interview with Fox News. “Ed Robson Arena will enhance our ability to compete, however, the opportunity to build community on campus and within the city is beyond exciting. This was a transformational day for Colorado College.”


We applaud everyone who was a part of this project, and can’t wait to watch the Tigers play here this winter!

The Importance of Copyright

February 16, 2023
Allow us to provide clarity on the topic of copyright in the creative industry. This area is often complex and clients frequently have questions and concerns. Copyright refers to the legal right that a creator has over their original work. In terms of photography or videography, the photographer or videographer holds the copyright as the creator of the work. Think of it in terms of a painter and their artwork. The painter holds the copyright as they created the piece, regardless of who owns it. In the same manner, the photographer or videographer holds the copyright as the creator of the photo or video. As a client, you are granted specific rights by the creator through agreement. These rights typically include exclusive use of the work. This would be equivalent to owning the painting and having the ability to display it in your home, office, or business. In some cases, the creator may also use the work for their marketing purposes, which is often reflected in the contract. However, we understand the desire for confidentiality and are happy to accommodate if the client requests that the work not be shared. This complex system is a common practice in the creative field, providing protection for both the artist and the client. The end result is a beautiful work of art that is enjoyed by all. If you have any questions regarding the distinction between copyright and usage rights, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. Understanding the intricacies of these rights is a crucial aspect of our services, and we are committed to ensuring that all of our clients are informed and confident in their rights. Let's work together to navigate this complex topic and ensure a clear understanding for all involved.

Considerations for Your Next Headshot Session

By The Unfound Door • January 26, 2023
Before scheduling your photography session, we would like to provide some recommendations and considerations to help you get the most out of your headshots. Here are our top three tips... 1. Consider the style and look you want to achieve with your headshots. Do you want to convey a corporate and professional image, or would you prefer to show the individual personalities of your team? This will help guide the type of backgrounds, poses, and other details that will be included in your headshots. 2. Consider the backgrounds you'd like to utilize for your session. We offer two options: a solid color backdrop or an environmental background. The solid color backdrop provides a clean and consistent look, while the environmental background can add visual interest and a sense of place. You can also choose to have both options for added flexibility! 3. Consider how you want your team's photos to look together. Do you want each person's headshot to be cropped and framed in the same way, or do you prefer a more varied and unique look? We can work with you to find the right balance of consistency. Check out some recent examples below, and email us at ely@theunfoundoor.com to inquire about booking a shoot for yoruself or your team!

Saeed’s personal experience serves as the perfect example of Fransen Pittman Construction’s culture, and their mission to help everyone succeed.

Project Highlight: The Stanley Hotel

By The Unfound Door • September 15, 2022
The Stanley Hotel in Estes Park is a staple for travelers everywhere. Whether it be because you are enjoying the Colorado landscapes and what comes with the natural splendor, or you love The Shining by Steven King, which was inspired by this iconic location. Recently, Saunders Heath and MOA Architecture renovated the Caretaker's Cottage with remnants of The Stanley's past, as well as transformed spaces into those from The Shining (does anyone remember the scene in the Green Bathroom?). We were so excited about being part of this project. This was such a wonderful project, and we are in love with the photos we captured alongside Kyla Chambers!
