Shulman’s 1936 photographs of Richard Neutra’s Kun house launched his career. Brought to the house by one of the architect’s assistants, Shulman, then merely a photography and architecture buff, brought along his Kodak Vest Pocket 127-format camera and shot the home while it was still under construction. Upon seeing the photos, Neutra said that they “revealed the essence of my design” and asked Shulman to photograph more of his houses. “That day I became a photographer,” Shulman said.
