Architectural Photography Artists
As a photographer, a person finds architectural and interior photography very fascinating. My favorite artists in this field are Hiroshi Sugimoto, Iwan Baan, and Adam Mork. All of them are architecture photographers, and their work is technically brilliant. Other similarities of their photography are that they are minimalistic and subtle. Sugimoto is my most favorite artist and considers photography as the medium for exploring permanence concealed behind the transient nature of all things, as he combines an Eastern way of thinking with Western cultural motifs. Mork is a Danish architectural photographer whose breathtaking viewpoints have transformed architectural photography. In addition, Baan, a Dutch photographer, has challenged the long-standing tradition of viewing buildings as static and isolated.

His shot portrays the building as a whole. As such, viewers indulge themselves in each image and follow their lines at will. New perspectives and viewpoints appear continually, and the number of distinctive angles is endless. One hardly knows that each shot is from a similar building. For instance, Mork has captured different shots of the stairwell of the Deloitte Headquarters in Copenhagen. The light installation changes into infinite variations. He has photographed the building from inside and outside, by night and day from distinctive angles. As a result, the viewer feels like the photographer reinvented the scene via a dialogue with the light designer and the architect.
Baan used unexpected perspectives, such as the people’s movement in reviving the static art of taking photos to structures. The artist grew up in Amsterdam and studied photography at The Hague’s Royal Academy of Art. Baan was attracted to digital ...
