I am doing research to find new and exiting photographers / artist working in the field of architectural photography.
Let me give you some examples of names who interest me:
Robert Polidori, Candida Höfer, Walter Niedermayr, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Andreas Gursky, Thomas Struth, Edward Burtynsky etc as top world class artist who work with architectural photography.
Please add some more names in this category.
There is a lot of artist who is working in the field of architectural photography; this is what I have a special interest in.
Names like: Andreas Gefeller, Antje Hanebeck, Beatrice Minda, Bert Teunissen, Ferit Kuyas, Guido Guidi, John Offenbach, Michael Wolf, Sze Tsung Leong, Todd Hido.
Please add names to this list too.
I am most aware of top class architectural photographers like Richard Bryant, Hisao Suzuki, Roland Halbe, Helene Binet, they interest me a lot, but this is currently not what I am looking for.
I am of cause aware of the grand old men like Julius Shulman, Bernd Becher, Brasai, Walker Evans, the list is long, but I am looking for contemporary photographers.
I am not looking for commercial architectural photographers, but photographers who use architectural photography as an artistic expression to create personal work.
Thank you all,
TES

Hey guys, thanks.
Lynne Cohen
She has interesting work I will have to look into.
Axel Hutte, Lewis Baltz
Axel Hütte is a favorite, I have his books.
Lewis Baltz, somehow I never connected him to Architectural phptography, but he sure has some excellent work.
Is he a part of the New Topographic movement in America ?

Depends on how you define AP and FAP. This is an area of particular interest to me also-both intellectually and in my own work. Here are some of my favorites past and present besides those mentioned above. Some are not "pure" FAAPs but did some interesting work in that area. Bill Schwab, Ed Ranney, John Nickel, John Szarkowski, Aaron Siskind, Steve Sherman, Andreas Gefeller, Ed Richards, Morley Baer, Laura Gilpin, Mark Citret, Robert Polidori, Gabriele Basilco,
There is also some discussion about this on my blog-look through the index. Good luck.

Geoffrey James
Bob Thall
did someone mention Atget yet?
-
Great topic, some really great suggestions here..
That's as far fetched as it gets but here you go: Gerold Tagwerker and his urban studies
http://www.geroldtagwerker.com/arbeiten.html (3rd-6th row counting from the very bottom of the page)
-
Thank you very much guys, this is indeed very helpful for my research.
Some great names there Jan, I wonder how you would know of Per Bak Jensen ? I like your collection.
Frank van der Salm reminds me of Jörg Sasse and this is good in my book.
tatibcn, wow these two are good.
Gerffreyg - Bob Thall and Geoffrey James google image search looks very interesting, do you know their websites ? Atget is a master of cause.
Mr. Rib, this is a very interesting artist, thanks.
Cheers,

Hi Tes,
Per Bak Jensen is a fellow Dane! Very influential on contemporary Danish photography. I especially like some of his earlier work, such as the series "Den Gådefulde By" ( The Enigmatic City ).
Another Danish photographer worth looking at is Mads Gamdrup, who studied with Per Bak Jensen at the Art Academy in Copenhagen.

Nice work Thomas. Don't know what the sizes are but won't be surprised to see you soon or later in the hands of top galleries.(if not already the case).

nice series tho_mas
many thanks!
Roland Fisher
Fischer ... I assume?
Nice work Thomas. Don't know what the sizes are but won't be surprised to see you soon or later in the hands of top galleries.(if not already the case).
thanks a lot for the encouraging compliment! I have not yet seriously showed my works to gallerists (just some "tests" to evaluate general possibilities). I feel I first need a second series (so that there is a follow up... I think one exhibition is maybe not so hard, the second and third is much harder).
But I have time...
Prints are 120cm high.
-
This is getting even better than I have hoped for.
I am very happy to see fellow artist showing great personal work in this field.
Thomas - excellent work. I wonder if these are computer manipulated, please tell a little more about the work.
David - I would like to see more of your Recurrent memories work, but don’t seem to be able to locate the project on your site.
Adrian - excellent work. I am looking at all your images on your site. Really consistent good work, this is rare. Thanks for the other links.
Matthias - I really like your concrete and architectural work.
fredjean - Roland Fischer, I was only aware of his water portraits (almost like Roni Horn), but I will for sure look into his other work. Thanks
Cheers

thank you!
If "computer manipulated" refers to a kind of assemblage style (i.e. foreground, building and sky are assembled from different scenes or so) then no. Basically you could visit the sites and recognize the respective photographs (well, actually you can not - they do not look like that anymore as most subjects were shot in the construction phase of the buildings… but basically you could recognize them). Some include retouching, though. Of course most images contain selective curves and color edits (and distortion correction, naturally), but there are also some that are pretty much "out of camera" (so to say). A few images took me weeks, even months to capture … I visited the sites again and again but there was always something in the way (trucks, tractors or so. Boring light. Or even worse: a pitoresque sky… I generally do not shoot fleecy clouds and such… obviously).

Thomas Ruff (Everyone has already mentioned most members of the Dusseldorf school, but have left this one out. Yes, his work is quite unlike the others but he has also done some "architectural"-related work.)

Leo Fabrizio (His Swiss Bunkers series is brilliant and beautiful. I saw it exhibited a few years ago in Paris. As with most things, you have to see the full-size prints in real-life to truly appreciate the work.)

There are many more, but my mind has gone blank ...

Thank you for the link to the Swiss Bunker series

Just remembered ...
Donovan Wylie (Magnum – if that matters to you) for these two series: "British Watchtower" and "The Maze".

You may have noticed that I am a big fan of the Bechers' typological approach.

these are amazing!
Here's another one.
I love Carl de Keyzer's (of Magnum) ongoing project Moments before the flood, which is also in a kind of topographic, architectural spirit
http://www.momentsbeforetheflood.com/

these are amazing!
You should see the whole series:

Hi Tes,
For a 'Down Under' Photographer, check out Jon Gollings.
He does work as a 'Commercial' Photographer and is arguably the best in Australia, but has many personal projects in which he shoots built form.
He's actually a trained architect as an Architect in the 60's.
http://www.gollings.com.au/
Hope that helps.
Cheers
