Jim Stephenson is a UK-based architectural photographer and filmmaker whose work emphasizes human presence, atmosphere, and the lived experience of built spaces. His style tends toward documentary, capturing fleeting moments—light shifting, people moving, use and texture—that reveal more than just form.
He studied Architectural Technology and worked in practice in the UK and USA before fully embracing photography and film. His portfolio includes work by renowned architects like Zaha Hadid, Herzog & de Meuron, Kengo Kuma, and many others, and his images and films are regularly published in media such as The Architects’ Journal, Dezeen, The New York Times, and Architectural Review.
