Abstract
Predominantly visual culture of 21st century – magazines, websites, and especially social media makes an image more powerful than ever in history. Therefore, visual artists such as photographers have an extraordinary ability to decide what will be shown to the public and remain in the memory of thousands of people. To be a great professional requires not only an unprecedented skill and technical mastery but also a rare talent to filter and synthetize complexities of the modern world. No one would be more accurate to meet these expectations than legendary photographers whose works will be analyzed in this research paper. This publication aims to investigate the relation between them and examine differences and similarities in their attitude to the profession. It also strives, based on these findings to understand the direction in which architectural photography is currently developing.
