Richard Silver is New York born and bred, (raised in Brooklyn and now lives in Miami), but to him, home is where his camera is. Richard has visited 109 countries and more than 400 cities in his life. Although his former career paths include everything from computer science, to Wall Street, to real estate in Manhattan, he’s always maintained his passion for photography and started shooting full time in 2011.
Richard’s love for travel has afforded him many opportunities to shoot different cities and cultures. He loves iconic architecture, whether it’s ancient or modern, and is always focused on documenting beautiful structures in each new city he visits. Richard loves using techniques such as Tilt Shift, Vertical Panoramas and Time Slice to present our everyday world in an altered visual context.
His work has been exhibited in museums and galleries around the country, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Skyscraper Museum, LaGrange Art Museum and Krause Gallery in New York.
Richard Silver is a 56-year-old travel photographer from New York and his photo series of libraries from around the world is absolutely breathtaking. Speaking to BuzzFeed, Silver explained, "As a photographer who appreciates and photographs architecture, I have always been fascinated with libraries ever since I was a kid and went to the NY Public Library on 5th Avenue in Manhattan. Now, as a travel photographer, I set out to shoot any interesting library wherever I travel to." Libraries

Silver started the project one crisp fall day in 2011, when he was strolling down Bleecker Street in Manhattan and decided to visit Our Lady of Pompeii Church. "I was enamored at the beauty of the ceiling," he says. It inspired him to try a vertical panorama to capture the scene. "The output wasn’t perfect my first few tries, but now I think I have it mastered."...Vertical Churches of the World
