Janna Ireland, an award-winning photographer, presents a collection of stunning, intimate black-and-white photographs of the work of Paul Revere Williams, who was known as Hollywoods Architect and was the first black architect admitted to the American Institute of Architecture.

Regarding Paul R. Williams: A Photographers View is a photographic exploration of the work of the first AIA-certified African American architect west of the Mississippi River. Known as Hollywoods Architect, Paul Revere Williams was a Los Angeles native who built a wildly successful and as an architect decades before the Civil Rights Movement. He designed municipal buildings and private homes as well as banks, churches, hospitals, and university halls. He designed public housing projects and mansions for celebrities like Frank Sinatra and Lucille Ball. In 1923, Williams became the first black member of the American Institute of Architects. In 2017, nearly forty years after his death, he became the first black recipient of the AIA Gold Medal.

In her book Regarding Paul R. Williams: A Photographers View, artist Janna Ireland explores the work and legacy of Williams through a series of intimate black-and-white photographs. Ireland gives the reader a vision of Williams that is both universal and highly personal. More than a book of architectural photographs, Regarding Paul R. Williams is the result of one artists encounter with another, connecting across different generations within the same city.
