Since 1996 we have been dedicated to gathering the greatest architectural imagery from around the world and publishing it to those in search of the highest artistic and technical quality in that guild of photography. Over the years, as we moved from original transparency film to an all digital online archive, we’ve seen a lot of things change, but one thing has remained constant: our commitment to collect and hold in stock the defining art of architectural photography in general and the one of our photographers in particular.

The foundation of our archive is the work of many masters of photography. But it is not their names that are accountable for the value of our archive, it is their vision and respect for their work that states their contribution to our collection. To maintain as a vital source of imagery we are looking at the world of photography with open eyes and arms and continuously subjoin the work of photographers that can meet our rigorous standards.

All projects are presented in respect of the expertise of each individual photographer as an observer, recognising him as one that not simply records work, but interprets it, is helping all of us, including the architects to understand what has been created. Whenever possible, we emphasise work that has been created very close to the architect to benefit from the relationship between an architect, as a building’s prime author, and an architectural photographer, as the visual interpreter of its ultimate shape and form, that can be greatly influenced by their mutual respect for each other’s work.

We wish to enable clients, visitors and sole admirers of our archive to appreciate architecture in context through the eyes of our photographers and carry on their experiences beyond our reach into their oikos.

For this we will ambitiously pursue our goal to more and more create the most significant archive of historic and contemporary architectural photography available to you.
