The Photography Of Architecture: Twelve Views

This book examines the development of architectural photography and its growing influence on our own perceptions of architecture. Including spectacular black-and-white photographs from the early days of architectural photography through contemporary selections, this volume also contains interviews with twelve leading architectural photographers. In addition, it provides documentation of some of this century's finest architectural achievements. Those who established the profession in the 1930s--Ezra Stoller, Julius Shulman, Bill Hedrich--discuss their philosophies, approaches, and backgrounds. Interviews with younger photographers explore the debt owed to their predecessors as well as their unique contributions.
