Architecture Notes:
- Architectural photographs are indirect portraits
- The materials, style and scale provide clues about who the people were and what their lives were like
- Early films were notoriously slow and needed hours of exposure for one image
- Architecture was a perfect subject for photography because it didn't move and there are so many different perspectives and angles to take the photo (it was interesting and simply beautiful)
- Focus on the details of a building as an exploration of abstract images
- Patterns dominate almost every part of the image
Fredrick H. Evans:
- One of the greatest architecture photographers in history
- Large part of his work focused on cathedrals in London
- Depicted emotion with the use of light
- Advice to photographers: "Try for a record of emotion rather than a piece of photography."
- Worked primarily in platinum papers (expensive)
- During WWI, platinum was used exclusively for making bombs and munitions
- Rather than switching development and his photography process, he GAVE UP photography for good
Ezra Stoller (1915-2004)
- Influential architectural photographer
- Liked architecture photography rather than being an architect
