Early Architectural Photographers:
*Roger Fenton
*Francis Frith (Middle East and UK pictures)
*Samuel Bourne (India pictures)
*Albert Levy (United States and Europe pictures) These photographers paved the way for the modern speciality group of architectural photographers. Later architectural photography had practitioners such as Ezra Stoller, Julius Shulman and the firm of Hedrich Blessing. Stoller worked mainly on the east coast of America, having graduated with a degree in architecture in the 1930's. Julius Shulman, who was based on the west coast, became an architectural photographer after some images that he had taken of one of Richard Neutra's houses in California made their way onto the architects desk (Shulman had a friend who worked as a junior in Neutra's office). Suitably impressed, Neutra took the young man under his wing, and introduced him to other members of the Californian modernist movement.
Current photographers include Helene Binet, Swiss born but living in London. Rather than simply recording the overall structure of the building, Binet's work attempts to convey a mood and the feeling of the building that she is working on. She has been closely associated with the works of Zaha Hadid. London-based Richard Bryant, Hon FRIBA, is an example of a consummate professional, a photographer who will produce a complete informative building study which also yields stand-alone images of artistic merit in their own right. His training as an architect enables him to translate his technical understanding of a structure into a two-dimensional experience.
