Julius Shulman

I confess I just discovered the legendary architectural photographer Julius Shulman today. His career has spanned only 7 decades as he is reaching the tender age of 98. His work is astounding, I'm an instant fan. This is probably his most famous photo. Shulman has worked for most of the architectural icons of the 20th century like Frank Loyd Wright, Mies Van de Rohe and Richard Neutra. He was even voted an honorary fellow by the American Institute of Architects (AIA) and was awarded their gold medal for architectural photography. Here is more of his work.

Listen to an NPR interview of Julius Shulman.
