- Images of
- Architecture
- and the
- Built Environment
Esto was created around the image collection of Ezra Stoller (1915-2004) who is considered the dean of American architectural photographers. Stoller studied architecture in the 1930s but turned his attention to photography while he was still in school. For nearly 50 years, in the middle decades of the 20th Century, Stoller documented important modern architecture. The strength of this collection remains at the core of Esto even today.
For over 20 years, Esto has been representing a group of younger photographers who concentrate on architecture, design and the built environment. These now include Peter Aaron, Francis Dzikowski, Jeff Goldberg, Anton Grassl, Peter Mauss, David Sundberg, and Albert Vecerka
And as the archive of past assignments grew, new work has been accepted from photographers from all over the world. The current list of contributors includes: Peter Aaron, Andreas Albert, Sylvester Allred, Lawrence Anderson, Wayne Andrews, Albero Arzoz, Bernstein Associates, Otto Baitz, Richard Barnes, Alex Bartel, Robert Benson, Hal Boucher, Marcus Bredt, Leslie Brenner, Richard Bryant, Tori Butt, David Cardelus, Chuck Choi, David Churchill, Niall Clutton, Peter Cook, Gianni Cordazzo, Dan Cornish, Mark Darley, Thomas Dix, Richard Einzig, Andrea Flak, Scott Frances, David Franzen, Denis Freppel, Alexandre Gaultier, Lillian Gee, John Gillan, Susan Gilmore, Elizabeth Glasgow, Jeff Goldberg, John Gollings, Anton Grassl, CS Gray, Jeffrey Green, Farrell Grehan, Art Grice, John Griebsch, Tim Griffith, Cary Hazlegrove, Paul Hester, Wolfgang Hoyt, John Humble, Billy Hustace, Martin Jones, Nicholas Kane, Barbara Karant, Alan Karchmer, Elliot Kaufman, Christian Kendall, Andreas Kornfeld, Tracey Kroll, Andreas Kunert, Chun Y Lai, Ian Lambot, Matthew Lawn, Schecter Lee, Ed Letterman, Richard J Levy, David Livingston, Olaf Mahlstedt, David LaSpina, John Margolies, Bill Maris, Peter Mauss, Norman McGrath, Clark James Mishler, Brian Nolan, Ronen Numa, Susan Oristaglio, Graziella Pazzanese, Betsy Pinover Schiff, Jock Pottle, Paul Raftery, Christian Richters, Ralph Richters, Stan Ries, Cervin Robinson, Michael Robinson, Steve Rosenthal, Jeremy Samuelson, Roberto Schezen, Hans Schlupp, Jason Schmidt, Doug Scott, Andreas Secci, David B Seide, Brad Simmons, Albert Squillace, Ezra Stoller, Roger Straus III, Tim Street-Porter, David Sundberg, Keith Swan, Lara Swimmer, William Taylor, Natalie Tepper, Friedheim Thomas, Jeffrey Totaro, Adrian Tyler, Albert Večerka, Luca Vignelli, Andrew Wainwright, James F Wilson, among others.
