Looking for a photographer is something that all architects have to do when they ends a building. The choice is important and not always everyone has the same visibility, that's why it is so necessary to break some barriers.

Today I continue our photographers serie with a debt to the other party, the women photographers, yes, women photographers and architecture.
We have been highlighting in these years excellent photographers and women photographers with whom we usually collaborate, and recently we realized that most were men, so we decided to make the effort to break that new glass ceiling.
A few weeks ago, the word spread that we were preparing a series dedicated to photographers and some platform brought out a list of 40 Ibero-American photographers, surprisingly the selection of women photographers was again negligible, even less than we have set ourselves just for Spain. We think there are many more and very good ones. Next we propose an initial list of 11, a number that does not respond to any cabal, in itself is the beginning of many more ...

Many of them have been trained as architects, something that in many cases influences their way of seeing architecture. In general they are a generation that opens a hole in its own right, which is bringing a new bias and vision to photography and in particular to architecture photography, which in the last decades has been consolidated as a genre with its own identity and quality, into the complex world of the image.
They show us images that nobody would see if they had not photographed them, images that tell us about their way of relating, to get excited about architecture, they make us see worlds that allow us to imagine architectures that we can see, and some that are result of their daydreams
They are not the only ones, and in the general panorama of photography, Spanish women photographers are many and very good. Among them some examples that I would like to highlight as virtual godmothers of our selection: Cristina García Rodero, one of our most internationally known photographers or Isabel Muñoz equally brilliant and internationally awarded. Among women photographers from other countries it is impossible to forget Hélène Binet, Annie Leibovitz or Vivian Maier among hundreds of them.
In the coming weeks and taking advantage of these days of celebration of architecture, we launched this series of impressive notes by women photographers.
