In Memoriam: Julius Shulman (1910-2009)
by habituallychic
07 . 16 . 09The photography world lost a legend yesterday with the passing of Julius Shulman. His images of modern architecture and in particular, California Modernism, are iconic and will stand the test of time, even if the buildings don’t. I can’t imagine a Richard Neutra house without visualizing it as Julius Shulman shot it. The Smithsonian conducted a lovely interview with Julius Shulman in 1990 which is worth checking out to learn more about his life and career. Julius Shulman was the Avedon of architecture and will be greatly missed.

Rest in peace. We can’t afford to lose any more geniuses. We seem not to be making them at the same rate we used to.

He was amazing in that he could capture not only the image but the “feel”.
Hi will be missed. His photographs are iconic and will live on.
Great photos. R.I.P.
did you know he was ‘self taught’. I love that.
I think if you have a good eye, it’s just about learning how to capture it
I could easily lull away my day in these stark- yet rich, photos. As an architecture fanatic, these are simply divine.
