Obituary

Arnold Newman, one of the most influential portrait photographers, and one of Brad's former mentors, has passed away at the age of 88. Arnold has been credited with the introduction of the environmental portrait and is perhaps best known for his images of Pablo Picasso, Igor Stravinsky, and many, many presidents. He passed away on June 6 of a heart attack at Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York and is survived by his wife, Augustus, two sons David and Eric, and four grandchildren.

Commissioning an Architectural Photographer

As a business, we believe that we have a valuable service to offer to our current and potential clients that helps separate us from other photographers. We also, however, understand the difficulties associated with finding and hiring the right photographer for your project. Thankfully, our friends at AIA, IAAP, and ASMP have put together a number of helpful articles about hiring an architectural photographer that can help guide you through the decision making process. Available through ASMP’s website, “Commissioning Architectural Photography” is a free resource for architects, contractors, building owners, and the general public. It is also part of a larger resource known as Best Practices provided by AIA.

Subjects include:

Selecting a Professional Photographer.

Understanding the Estimate for a Photographic Assignment.

Preparing for Professional Photography: A Checklist.

Controlling the Cost of a Photographic Assignment.

Licensing Photographs for a Publication.
