Pedro Guerrero, Frank Lloyd Wright’s Photographer, Dies at 95

Posted on by

As the story goes, Pedro Guerrero, at the age of 22, asked Frank Lloyd Wright for a job when he randomly met him in Scottsdale, Arizona. Guerrero had no  photography degree and didn’t even know who the 72-year-old architect was. He just knew him as a man building a house in the desert.

That house later became known as Taliesin West. And for the next 20 years, Guerrero was Wright’s most trusted photographer, capturing beautiful images of his architectural creations. Read More.

While photographers increasingly became more modern, manipulating images into abstract forms, Guerrero never adjusted his pictures to be anything but what they were. As more and more architects discovered his photography and requested his services, Guerrero held steady with Wright. He said in an interview with Architect Magazine: “I made it a point as long as Mr. Wright lived not to give myself over to any one of them. Out of loyalty to him, I tried to avoid getting involved with anyone else.”

A monograph of Guerrero’s work was on view at the Julius Shulman Institute in California just five months ago.

Photographer Captures Shopping Center’s Color Changing Facade

Completed in 2008, the Mira München Nordheide is a two-building retail development designed by architects at Chapman Taylor to create a new urban square for clients Fondara GmbH. The shopping centre is a model of efficiency, equipped with one of the largest geothermal cooling systems in Europe and even receiving a Gold Award for Sustainable Buildings back in 2009. While the designers went to great lengths to ensure the building’s energy efficient status, it was never to the detriment of the retail developments aesthetic appeals. In a new series of photos, Munich-based photographer Nick Frank has captured the bubble-gum candy colored facade like never before. Continue.

In sharp contrast to the organic, free- flowing interiors of the Mira München Nordheide shopping centre, the facade is a defiantly geometric, candy-colored practice of linear expertise. The colorful prisms that shape the exterior are both a mixture of powder-coated aluminum panels as well as stainless steel. The stainless steel panels reflect the sky and additional surroundings, creating a series of illusions of depth that are further enhanced by the close relation of each panel to the powder-coated aluminum. The aluminum panels differ in color so much so that the building appears to change colors as the viewer moves around the space, a concept expertly captured in Frank’s photographs.

You’ve Never Viewed An Apartment Quite Like This

Back in June we featured the vertigo-inducing photo series, “Room Portraits,” by artist Menno Aden. In the collection, Aden captured living and public spaces from an omniscient aerial perspective. Exploring the voyeuristic nature of society, the photographs were stripped of subjectivity, creating a dizzying vignette of unrecognizable spaces.

Well, if Aden presented views only accessible by satellite, then the Michael H. Rohde photo series “From Below” envisions the world from 6 feet under. Read More.

The series created by the German photographer presents a disorienting landscape of gravity-defying household objects that are seemingly suspended effortlessly in space. Each photograph appears to have been shot through a glass bottom floor, creating a detached perspective filled with floating objects that “are supported only by the attentive gaze of the viewer.”

While Aden’s series aimed to transform each space through abstraction, Rohde’s photographs test the limits even further by creating an unsettling interpretation of traditionally recognizable environments.
