Architectural Photographers..... Who are the favorites?

[Corey Beaulieu]

A While back I started a thread to learn about your favorite Architectural Photographers. I am always searching for new sources of inspiration so I thought I would re-instate that thread.

 

My current favorite is a guy out of San Fransisco named Joe Fletcher: http://www.joefletcherphoto.com/

 

So, who are your favorites?

I'm very surprised and a little sad because nobody mentioned Gabriele Basilico, by far one of the best architectural photographer of the history, that recently passed away. I suggest you to look around and maybe buy one of his books to better appreciate his art!

Well his name is on the list now, Alessandro. Thanks.

Arguably, it starts with Beato.

I own some of his original prints (ones that were mass produced, but all contact prints from glass negatives so first-generation prints). He evolved from simply producing 'views' (at a time when most people would never travel to Egypt or China or southeast Asia, so bought the new tech - photos) to recording the human condition playing out among the ruins and monuments. Those pictures are way too expensive for me.
