A conversation with photographer and conceptual artist Janna Ireland, and architecture historian Alan Hess, on her experience and insights over 4 years photographing African-American architect Paul R. Williams’ buildings for her new book, Regarding Paul R. Williams: A Photographer’s View (Angel City Press 2020).  

Ireland provides a fresh and contemporary context of his work with a collection of elegant black + white photographs.  “I searched for clues about Paul R Williams in his buildings,” she writes in her introductory essay, and on the way she found great care taken with all of his work, and a mind singularly focused on the power of good design.
