With immediate distribution and consumption of imagery now so readily available, photography and architecture together are more important than ever before.

Presenting the most extraordinary work of contemporary architectural photography, Shooting Space will not only provide a quick and engaging display of beautiful photography but more careful examination will reward the reader with a timely survey of our built environment., The first collection of the most inspiring photographers of contemporary architecture, together in one place.
