Ezra Stoller was an American architectural photographer whose black-and-white photographs documented modernist buildings with unprecedented precision and formal clarity. Working from the 1940s onward, he created a comprehensive visual archive of postwar American architecture, capturing works by architects including Richard Neutra, Eero Saarinen, and Le Corbusier. His photographs prioritized geometric composition, sharp detail, and the relationship between structure and landscape, establishing a documentary standard that influenced how modernist architecture was understood and reproduced. Stoller's negatives and prints form one of the most significant collections of twentieth-century architectural documentation.
