Brad Feinknopf's passion for architectural photography is a direct reflection of his heritage. Feinknopf followed in the footsteps of his grandfather and father, both highly regarded Columbus architects, and pursued a degree in architecture. During his studies at Cornell, merely to fulfill an elective course, Feinknopf picked up a camera and found a new profession.

Following his graduation from Cornell, Feinknopf spent several years in New York City assisting prominent photographers including Richard Avedon, Arnold Newman, Horst, Robert Mapplethorpe, and Joyce Tenneson. Now back in Columbus, Feinknopf has a photography studio that specializes in architecture, interiors, exteriors, corporate, portraiture, and stock photography.

Feinknopf has traveled throughout the United States shooting architectural projects, many of which have been American Institute of Architects award winners. He has also received awards for his corporate photography, including ADDY awards for best corporate brochure and best black-and-white photography. View Camera Magazine awarded Feinknopf an Architectural Photography Excellence Award in 1997.

As the son and grandson of architects, I have spent my entire life looking at and appreciating architecture. Additionally, my fine art photography has revolved around the etherealness and spirit that exists in landscape. Through this commission I have tried to merge these two loves and approach the beauty of Ohio State architecture with a presence that is as individualistic of spirit and mood as the Ohio State campus is gracious.
