Architectural PowerPoint Notes:

Architectural Photographs:
3 types: big picture, small details, and interior
  • Indirect portraits
    • Materials, style, and scale provide the clues about who they were and what they did/what their lives are like
  • Early films were notoriously slow and needed hours of exposure for one image.
    • Perfect subject for photography because it didn't move; it's stationary; it has history; many different ways to look at it, have different perspectives and view points; mainly, the designs because elements and principles exist in architecture
Frederick H. Evans
  • One of the greatest architectural photographers in history
  • He mainly focused on cathedrals in London; depicted motion with the use of light
  • "Try for a record of emotion rather than a piece of photography."
  • Worked in platinum papers
    • Used for making bombs and munitions during WWI
    • Because of that...he gave up!
Ezra Stoller (1915-2004)
  • Started out as an architect, but found photography to be better for him
    • Line, space, shape
