Architecture Photography: Julius Shulman (for week 4)

Hi PHOA113, 

 

I wanted to introduce you to one of the best American architecture photographers, Julius Shulman.  He was from Brooklyn, New York and was born in 1910 and he passed away in 2009. Shulman photographed structures designed by both Frank Lloyd Wright and Pierre Koenig.  His style of photography certainly inspired the architectural photography movement during the 1990’s. Some may say that Shulman’s work changes the way we look at Modernism as a whole. 

Our Week 4 module expands on the idea of location.  How must a photographer go about finding a location?  If the location is in fact a structure or a building, this week’s readings teach you how to photograph it.  

Shulman is a great example of both interior and exterior architecture photographer.  Click on the link below to read more information about Shulman's life and his work; be sure to also read the attached articles and watch the video:
