"He was the biggest architectural photographer of all times," his representative Craig Krull told AFP. "He transformed architectural photography from commercial status to a fine art form."
Shulman's photo entitled "Case Study House 22" -- in which two women gaze out onto the Hollywood Hills at night from the floor-to-ceiling windows of a modern home which appears to be suspended in air -- has been reprinted scores of times in magazines and works on urbanization.
During his seven-decade career, most of Shulman's bold portraits were taken in California, often framing buildings against the mountains, plants and oceans which surrounded them, forming a natural backdrop to their beauty.
On the eve of Shulman's 97th birthday, the German publishers Taschen brought out a retrospective entitled "Modernism Rediscovered" gathering together more than 400 of his photographs.
