Photographer Overview
Edmund Sumner is an architectural photographer based in London, with a global clientele spanning four continents. For the past two and a half decades, architects, publishers, government departments, and curators have turned to Edmund to give meaning and context to architecture and design. His work is recognised for its commercial and creative qualities, visualising the formal and spatial aspirations of Modern architecture while maintaining a balance between style and environment.
Sumner collaborates with many of today’s leading architects, including Tadao Ando, Foster + Partners, and Fernanda Canales. A strong advocate for emerging architectural talent, he contributes his photographic and curatorial expertise to prestigious design festivals such as the Sharjah Architecture Triennial and Arab Design Now.
Sumner’s photographic commissions are complemented by ongoing dialogues with leading publishers. His studio has successfully produced four major publications on his work within the context of global cultural narratives. A fifth major book is slated for release with Thames & Hudson in 2025.
Beyond his commissioned work, Sumner maintains a personal, creative photography practice. This has led to a portfolio of solo exhibitions and gallery representations in both London and the US.
