His work has featured landmarks of modern architecture including Ludwig Mies van der Rohe's Seagram Building, Frank Lloyd Wright's Falling Water, Alvar Aalto's Finnish Pavilion at the 1939 New York World's Fair, and Stoller is often cited in aiding the spread of the Modern Movement. In 1961, Stoller was the first ever recipient of the AIA Gold Medal for Photography. Stoller's photographs were featured in the book . In his later years, Stoller founded Esto Photographics, a commercial photography firm currently directed by his daughter Erica Stoller.
