Building Images

"Over the last seventy years, the firm Hedrich Blessing has raised the commercial and documentary nature of architectural photography to a high art. Building Images: Seventy Years of Photography at Hedrich Blessing chronicles the history of this landmark firm through over 160 fantastic images from its photographers. With the mantra "Don't make photographs, think them," the studio has been responsible for revolutionizing the way in which buildings are photographed. Hedrich Blessing has taken over 500,000 photographs, an archive so vast and historically valuable that it was donated to the Chicago Historical Society for preservation."--BOOK JACKET.
