| about |
| Jim Stephenson is a contemporary photographer concerned with the documentation of architecture, interiors and the built environment. With a lifelong love of architecture, Jim trained as an architectural technologist and after graduation he worked in the industry for almost ten years, on both sides of the Atlantic. During this time he began to take photographs for architectural practices, eventually setting down his pen to photograph buildings full time. His background allows him to converse meaningfully with his clients; he understands the architect’s intent and confidently conveys this in his photography. His personal passion for the industry is also evident in his work; he cares deeply about architecture and his own relationship with the built environment. In the past few years, Jim has introduced a documentary-style approach to some areas of his work, studying and depicting how people interact with buildings and spaces. Working across the UK and around the world, clients include Allies & Morrison, Grimshaw Architects, Conran & Partners, Squire & Partners, NORD, Heneghan Peng Architects, M&C Saatchi, the RIBA, Household, LCE Architects, Chalk Design, Park Grove Designs, Meloy Architects, Deveraux Architects and dreamthinkspeak. His image archive is represented by View Pictures. Jim’s images have featured in a number of publications including The Sunday Times, The Guardian, The Observer, The Evening Standard, The Financial Times, Architecture Today, The Architect’s Journal (AJ), Building Design (BD), Dezeen, Arch Daily, Sleeper Magazine, Building Magazine and Inside Building. Despite working as a full-time photographer, Jim’s first love is architecture: every once in a while he ditches the camera and picks up his sketchbook. He is also the founder of the Brighton-based MiniClick phototalks. - Eleanor O'Kane, 2012 |
