Simon Devitt Photographer Information

Simon Devitt, a globally recognized photographer, specializes in Architectural Photography. His extensive work has led him around the world, where he has captured diverse environments from the bustling streets of Shanghai to the peaceful silence of a Japanese bamboo forest. Simon's profound connection with his subjects is evident in his work, including his love for the diffused light in Los Angeles, and his inclusion of local communities which add a human element to his photographs.

He remains open to commissions, collaborations, and guest lectures worldwide, blending his personal interests and professional skills in a unique way. Simon is represented by PhotoFoyer Milan. Simon will challenge the traditional paradigms of perception, asserting that other senses; touch, hearing and smell – foster deeper connections to the structures we're photographing. By sharing unconventional techniques and insights, you’ll re-think the creative process, framing architectural photography not as a documentation of physical structures, but as a multi-sensory experience that elicits the true essence of a space, transcend its physicality, and, most importantly, tell its unique story.
