Photography in its diverse existence may be rated as an independent genre of architectural photography. Its realization and execution requires precise expertise and professional know-how, it also demands the photographer to choose the appropriate technology, perspectives, timing, whilst the images themselves may not only appear online, but also in printed formats, such as illustrious architectural albums, among others. And now it is almost self-evident that the question will occur: may such a field become a part of contemporary (photo) art?
Photography – to rely upon an analogy – may be interpreted much in the same way as the language or the writing which we may use for making a shopping list or a longish novel or a dissertation as well. How could one decide what we should regard as part of (photo) art or what we should discard from that category?
