Arch-Exist photography was founded in 2012 by Zhenhuan He, who started out as a documentary photographer, and Zhewei Su, a registered architect.

Since established, Arch-Exist has accompanied many international/domestic architecture firms to stand out in major architectural media events, biennales, and architecture festivals around the world.

Inspired by Architecture and Modern Art, Arch-Exist has always focused on the connection among architecture, time and life. 

The most distinctive feature of our work is that it has been divided into two parts: first, we try to respect the delicate scale and proportion of architectural aesthetics; second, we explore the imprint left by time on the city and countryside through the lenses of Architecture. Balancing the two makes us more sensitive to the personality of Architecture. Arch-Exist won the championship of the Global Architectural Photography Competition in the WAF World Architecture Festival in 2018 and 2019.

What is the flavor of our photos?

Throughout our career, we try to explore and unveil stories behind each architecture we shoot. Our photos are full of our curiosity, and they also tell our life experience and represent who we are aesthetically.

We lived in Sichuan, one of most delicious province in China. Comparing our photographs to taste, our photos are like everyday food, somtimes spicy, sometimes gentle, and they change as each architecture is unique.

Arch-Exist photography has the following characteristics

I. We try to keep the proportion of buildings in photos, and not to exaggerate and change their scales with wide-angle lens; 

II. We aim to shoot architecture photography within the concept of documentary photography; 

III. We respect the complexity of the environment, therefore our photos are not necessarily so-called perfect images.
