Favorite Architects
Do you have favorite architects whose work that you like photograph?
I'm not that great at knowing who the architects are of buildings that I photograph for example I have photographed a building in Burbank many times but have not yet found the architect despite googling it a few times..
I do like Richard Meier in particular The Getty Center in Los Angeles also interested in Kurt Meyer

I realize I'm slow to respond. Off the top of my head I can only name a few architects. Antonio Gaudi comes first to mind, then Santiago Calatrava. Frank Lloyd Wright, was influential and creative but I have to question his work ( roofs that leaked, no storage in residences, low ceilings). I like Henry Trost work in the US Southwest. Frank Gehry is fun as well but his work is not that widely available. Julia Morgan is sometimes inspiring and always curious given her groundbreaking reputation. Renzo Piano also comes to mind as does I. M. Pei, who I followed during my college years. Mies van der Rohe held my attention for a while. The other half of the question is "like to photograph".
My interest in photography is much more recent than my interest in Architecture. It is only recently that I have attempted to combine the two interests. It was Gaudi and Calatrava that inspired me when I visited Spain. I've seen Gehry's work in Seattle and Bilbao but again that predates my serious photographic years. I was merely a tourist at that time. I still don't consider myself an architectural photographer. I'm more an amateur photographer who enjoys architecture.

One of my favorites is Cass Gilbert. Living in NYC I've had the opportunity to photograph a number of his buildings.
