He is the author and photographer of numerous works on Russian architecture including A History of Russian Architecture (Cambridge Univ. Press, 1993), which The New York Times Book Review included in its "Notable Books of the Year 1993"; Lost Russia: Photographing the Ruins of Russian Architecture (Duke Univ. Press, 1995); and Landmarks of Russian Architecture: A Photographic Survey (Gordon and Breach Publishers, 1997).

His photographs of Russian architecture, which have been exhibited at numerous galleries and museums (in the U.S., Russia, France, and Canada), are part of the collection of the Photographic Archives at the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C. His recent shows include "The Russian Art of Building in Wood" (a traveling exhibit sponsored by the National Humanities Center), and "Lost Russia: Photographs by William Brumfield," which opened at the Duke University Museum of Art in January 1996, and has since appeared at the New Orleans Museum of Art (Nov. 1996-Feb. 1997), the University of Michigan Museum of Art, and other museums.
