Photography Communicates, Inspires

rchitectural photography is the communication
device we use for inspiration and to share beautiful/innovative structures with others. Without

it, relatively few people would be able to experience the
scores of buildings and spaces that are created and occupied
every day.
We are very excited to not only further communicate
through imagery with this, our second-annual photography
issue, but to be able to significantly expand the number of
photographers/images we share with you. Starting on p. 9,
you will be able to enjoy 35 pages of top-notch architectural
photography from ten highly skilled artists. Most of them
are members of the Association of Independent Architectural Photographers (aiap.net).
Actually, we're featuring 11 artists in this issue. Be sure
to turn to p. 66 and view the Portfolio image from Slav Zatoka of Slav Zatoka Images LLC, Santa Ana, CA (slavzatoka.com). The image is from the award-winning mixed-use
Avalon West Hollywood (CA) apartment complex and will
give you a taste of his talent.
In addition to Slav Zatoka, this architectural photography issue celebrates the work of:
