Title: “Supersymmetry”
Place: Paris, France
Description: The Francois-Mitterrand Library in Paris is one of the city's lesser-known landmarks and its modern look juxtaposes the city's traditional architecture. It consists of four buildings that are all shaped like open books with two sides (pages) at a 90-degree angle. This low angle creates an apparently infinite symmetry that is symbolic of the building's futuristic nature.

Title: “Shanghai Tower + SWFC”
Place: Shanghai, China
Description: The Shanghai Tower and the Shanghai World Financial Centre, the third and twelfth tallest buildings in the world, stand next to each other in Shanghai's Pudong district dominating the area. Capturing these ultra-modern feats of architecture and engineering on vintage cameras and film was my way of exploring the contrast between the future and the past. These two images were shot on Ilford Delta 3200 film using a Pentax 6x7 camera. I developed the film in Ilford DD-X developer, fixed with Ilford Rapid fixer. There was no digital post-processing except dust-speck removal.

Title: “Twin Elevation”
Place: Bologna
Description: The photo taken in the city of Bologna is actually a monument, but while I was taking the shot it took me back to the structure of two identical skyscrapers that were mirrored, but at the same time I went with memories to the twin towers. So I gave the image that ghostly allure typical of the memory of painful events, I have of many cities with popular urbanization neighborhoods.

(USA 1910-2009)
Julius Shulman is one of the most famous photographers of mid-20th century architecture in America. He has defined the way we look at Modernism. Shulman photographed the new architecture that was emerging after World War II in South California, especially the metropolitan area of Los Angeles. He began his journey as an architectural photographer after meeting Richard Neutra in 1936, to whom he donated some prints from the house the architect had designed for Josef Kuhn in the Hollywood Hills. This meeting signs the beginning of a long collaboration with Richard Neutra, who recommended Shulman to other architects who were developing the International Style of Modernism in America, such as; Rudolph Schindler, Gregory Ain, John Lautner, Pierre Koenig, Raphael Soriano, and others.
Shulman is known for his strong graphic style, which highlights the features of the building, strong perspectives and light-shadow contrasts. He believed in the idealization and glorification of architecture; he often shot in infrared film to increase the drama of the scene, used artificial lighting to better illuminate the interiors, placed furniture and objects in such positions as to create pleasing compositions, and used models to make the house livable. In an interview Julius Shulman states "the photographer's responsibility is to identify the design components of the structure, to identify with the architect the purpose of the structure and of its design".
Shulman not only photographed architecture, he synthesized the essence of an era. His photographs were published in all architecture magazines and influenced the way modern architecture was perceived. His photography promoted the work of architects and made it visible to people who could not physically see it. As Richard Neutra, who had a 34-year collaboration with the photographer, said: “Film is stronger, and good glossy prints are easier to ship than brute concrete, stainless steel or even ideas”.
Some of Shulman's most important photographs are those of ‘Case Study Houses’; an initiative of Art and Architecture Magazine in 1945, initiated by John Entenza with the aim of creating a modernist, low-cost housing model for the construction industry. During its 25 years of existence, the Case Study Houses Program included the contributions of several renowned architects, including Eero Saarinen, Craig Ellwood, Charles and Ray Eames. 36 prototypes of apartments were designed, of which 24 were realized. Among them Shulman photographed 18 homes. One of his most famous photographs is the Case Study House # 22, known as Stahl Residence of architect Pierre Koenig, in which two women talk to each other in the cantilevered space of the villa, in the illuminated background of Los Angeles. The photo is one of the most published photographs of architecture, “one of those singular images that sum up an entire city at a moment in time” as architecture critic Paul Goldberger wrote in the New York Times.
Julius Shulman continued to photograph until the last years of his life, such as Frank Gehri's Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, and the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao. In 2004 the Getty Research Institute bought the archive of 260,000 negatives, prints and transparencies, becoming the main owner of his photographs.
