Amanda Large and Younes Bounhar are the co-founders of Doublespace Photography, a studio recognized internationally for its refined and evocative architectural photography. The pair came to the profession through distinctly different paths. Amanda trained as an architect and practiced for five years before stepping behind the lens. Younes, originally a molecular biologist, discovered his passion for photography after a career in science and federal policy work.

Their shared creative drive and appreciation for design led them to launch Doublespace in 2012. Since then, Amanda and Younes have built a portfolio that spans residential architecture, civic buildings, and global commissions. Their work, celebrated for its clarity, atmosphere, and sensitivity to light and form, has been featured in Architectural Digest, Dezeen, Wallpaper* and other leading design publications. They have received multiple accolades, including the Architizer A+ Award and the Canadian Architect Award for Excellence.

Doublespace is more than a business. It is a reflection of Amanda and Younes’ life together. They often travel to shoot projects across Canada and abroad, selecting destinations as much for their inspiration as for their beauty. From Lisbon courtyards to Cape Breton cliffs, they capture spaces that resonate both emotionally and visually. Whether shooting for a renowned architect or discovering an understated gem, they bring a mix of craft, curiosity, and humility to every frame, transforming architecture into story.
