My Picks

Julius Shulman

Julius Shulman, who resided in California for the majority of his life, was one of the greatest architectural photographers of all time, and he is also one of my greatest inspirations.  He is most famous for his iconic shots of architectural structures designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and Pierre Koenig.  Shulman focused on architectural photography throughout his entire career, and he even brought new architects to light that had not been recognized before he shot images of their structures.  Compositionally, Julius Shulman's work is extremely strong.  He took every detail into thought and made sure everything came together for a very cohesive and beautiful body of work.

Scott Vallance

Scott Vallance is a commercial photographer currently residing in San Antonio, Texas and teaching at San Antonio College.  Apart from Scott being my photography professor for upwards of three years, his images inspire me because of their composition and flawless technique.  Scott attended college at Brooks Institute of Photography, one of the most prestigious photo universities.  After working in California for years, Scott moved to San Antonio, Texas to find a different client base and a new outlook on his career.  Apart from working full time as a photography professor at San Antonio College and full time as a commercial photographer, Scott also sells fine art images on the side for a little extra profit.  He is a true photographer and believes that spreading the knowledge of photography to future generations is just as important as the excellent work he puts out for his clients on a daily basis.
