Here's one of his photos, of the Inauguration of the chapel of Notre-Dame du Haut.

Lucien Hervé (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucien_Herv%C3%A9) photographed a lot of Corbusier buildings as well. His work is less documentary and more abstract, investigating the potential of the building to produce iinteresting images, always looking for interesting contrasts and details.
Here (http://www.amazon.com/Lucien-Herve-Building-Images-Resources/dp/0892367547)'s a book on him (and by him), he also wrote a book (http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_b/104-7998047-1108744?initialSearch=1&url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=lucien+herve&Go.x=0&Go.y=0&Go=Go)on Corbusier as an artist and writer.
His work on the abbey of Le Thoronet is famous as well.

thank you guys seriously ...i think this forum is really active...anyway I express myself badly, i meant i'm looking for some photographers not so extremely contemporary ... something between the 50s and the 80s

thank you again
Silvio Lorusso

[SWANK-E]

In that case, for Australia (especially early Murcutt work), Max Dupain (http://www.maxdupain.com.au/) (1911-1992), David Moore (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Moore_%28photographer%29) (1927-2003) and as already mentioned... John Gollings (1944-)

[takesh h]

something between the 50s and the 80s
That is the time when Yukio Futagawa (publisher-photographer of GA magazine (http://www.ga-ada.co.jp/)) was most active.

[supasilvio]

thank you again you were very helpful

[mo-deep]

no ones mentioned Ezra Stoller. damn good stuff from one who knew the business.

info link (http://photography.about.com/library/weekly/aa101303c.htm)
Ezra Stoller began taking photographs to support himself while studying to be an architect at the New York University School of Architecture. On graduation in 1939, he continued as a photographer rather than an architect, soon establishing himself as a leading architectural photographer and continuing to work for some 50 years.

I am impressed with Timothy Swope's work, particularly the shots of L'Institut du Monde Arabe (http://www.pixelmap.com/dma_nouvel_00.html).

Yeah! Except in the third post....:D

What about Margherita Spiluttini (http://www.spiluttini.com/)? She has done a lot of work for and on Herzog and DeMeuron.

You really need to look at Hedrick-Blessing. They were, and still are, one of the best.

Todd Eberle (http://www.toddeberle.com/). His series on Judd's architecture in Marfa is fantastic.

You really need to look at Hedrick-Blessing. They were, and still are, one of the best.

Apparently they're a group of photographers trained by the originators. Some great compositions in there!

Good to see you back here! :cheers:

WHAT!!!???? It's a Jake sighting :D long time no see Jake...

Just came across some more resources about Julius Shulman through TASCHEN.
They published Modernism Rediscovered both as a 3 XL volume set (http://www.taschen.com/pages/en/catalogue/photography/all/04404/facts.htm) and as a more economical smaller single volume (http://www.taschen.com/pages/en/catalogue/architecture/all/02934/facts.htm).
For the really wealthy among us they have published several books entitled Shulman Portfolios (http://www.taschen.com/pages/en/catalogue/artists_editions/all/01026/see_also.htm). Each of them features a single house and is a limited edition of 60 copies worldwide, signed by the author and priced at €3000.
They have a few press clippings available for download (http://www.taschen.com/pages/en/search/result.1.htm?last_site=catalogue&search_string=shulman&show_all=Press+-+Press+Clippings) as PDF files (not particularly interesting except maybe the last one).
In the reading room section of their website they have a couple of articles about Shulman: one is entitled The Living Memory of Modernism (http://www.taschen.com/pages/en/catalogue/architecture/reading_room/183.1.htm) and the other is The making of an icon (http://www.taschen.com/pages/en/catalogue/architecture/reading_room/10.1.htm) and is an interview with all the people who participated in the picture shown below, taken in 1960 in Pierre Koenig's Case Study House #22.

Great article on Shulman in the October Dwell. Evidently he has a new three-volume book being published by Taschen named "Modernism Revisited".

[sigue2000]

He is not world famous but well known in Germany. He lives and works from my hometown Aachen and has taken some great pictures of projects I've worked on.

yet somewhere on the forum but astonished by the images shown!
Don't know if he is famous or not :)

The work of Bernd and Hilla Becher (http://www.artnet.de/Artists/ArtistHomePage.aspx?artist_id=2179&page_tab=Artworks_for_sale) is certainly worth having a look at. There's a lot on Google images (http://images.google.be/images?q=bernd+hilla+becher&hl=nl&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&hs=wWR&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=X&oi=images&ct=title) and here's the wikipedia entry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernd_and_Hilla_Becher). A_Minima mentioned them here (http://www.pushpullbar.com/forums/showthread.php?p=60075&highlight=becher#post60075).

They formed and influenced a whole generation of German photographers. Although their work is better known in art and photography circles, there are strong connections to architectural photography as well.

Unfortunately, Bernd died (http://www.nytimes.com/2007/06/26/arts/26becher.html?ei=5090&en=aa3ba0750af71bc2&ex=1340510400&adxnnl=1&partner=rssuserland&emc=rss&adxnnlx=1182957449-GmmPwU+3SKD/TXoIc/Gdxg) in June 2007.

I assume the artists don't have to be living. Two greats no longer with us are Frederick H Evans a Brit who worked from the last years of the 19thC and died in the 40s but I believe he retired about 1915, and Richard Einzig who died in 1980. Two still very much with us and worth a look are Tim Street Porter and Alan Weintraub. Richard Bryant has already been mentioned if you want to see examples of his work (and a lot of others) go to www.arcaid.co.uk Good Luck WEL

Åke E:son Lindman, I think he's great!
I didn't know him until a week ago, I had the link of his website from a friend in Erasmus in Lund :)

I was lucky enough to have Christmas dinner w/ him two years ago. He is truly a fascinating man and a living legend having worked in the offices of Le Corbusier and Eero Saarinen.

He also is credited with the last photograph taken of Frank Lloyd Wright.
