The Man Behind the Camera

“As an architect, you design for the present, with an awareness of the past for a future which is essentially unknown.”Norman Foster

The structures and dwellings we build express our culture and the epoch we are privileged to be part of. The 1920s, a tumultuous, aspirational decade bursting with energy and optimism, ushered in an era of magnificent skyscrapers and Art Deco jewels like Miami Beach, a response to the high-tech wonder of its day, the automobile. Today, architecture and transportation design are again progressing in tandem in response to ecological imperatives. At Architecture Art, we embrace the future as we revere the past. From the grand to the vernacular, we document architectural and automotive excellence — capturing the charm of the prosaic and the grandeur in the profound with unique, expressive photography.

—Joseph Heroun, Principal and Chief Photographer

Joseph Heroun, founder and principal of Architecture Art, developed his photographic expertise alongside fine art studies at the New York Academy and the Art Students League. His extensive career in magazine publishing as a creative director, designer, and editor further honed his artistic vision. With a deep appreciation for industrial design and the urban landscape, Heroun’s work celebrates the dynamic fusion of engineering and art, capturing the beauty and innovation inherent in architectural and automotive forms.

Cities, at their best, are a beautiful cacophony of randomness, cloaked in the atmosphere of an ever shifting palette.
