Leonid Furmansky is an architectural photographer based in Austin, Texas who explores the ways in which built environments shape and reflect everyday life. His work often focuses on modern and brutalist architecture, emphasizing texture, form, and light to reveal the character of structures both large and small.
He has documented a wide variety of projects — residential homes, installations, adaptive reuse, towers and public structures — collaborating with architects and design firms to present spaces that feel both technically precise and richly atmospheric. His photographs are featured on ArchDaily, Divisare, Houzz, and in exhibitions, including shows that examine brutalist architecture.
