Thomas R. Schiff has been making photographs since he was in grade school and studied the art in college.

In the 1990s, he began using a panoramic camera exclusively. It enables him to reveal unusual, broader aspects of the built environment.

In 2007, Schiff was given the Architectural Foundation of Cincinnati’s prestigious Apple Award for skillful documentation and interpretation of the architectural wonders of Cincinnati, Ohio, and the United States. The Foundation is pleased to present this exhibition of his recent work. It features individual architectural projects by world-renowned architects and a fascinating collection of cityscapes.

Mr. Schiff will give a gallery talk at 6 p.m. He will be signing copies of his stunning new book, Vegas 360, which is available for purchase along with his earlier books, Panoramic Parks of Cincinnati and Panoramic Ohio: The Bicentennial Collection. The Architectural Foundation is the beneficiary of all sales.
