Thank you Alex. In the past year I have found my direction within photography. I love architecture and finding the story each space has to tell is now consuming me. I can’t put into words how much I enjoyed this post. He has photographed, in many cases, what was new and exciting structures, buildings, offices, spaces and in many ways, reflected the positivity of the 1950’s. It is so exciting to look at these now from a photographers perspective with nostalgia. It is nothing short of inspirational. Again, thank you .
I always enjoy your perspectives on photography. So many UA-camrs talk about the technical end, while you emphasize the over all aesthetics. Thank you. Now, as a video professional for 40+ years, I have a suggestion for you. If your environment you shoot in has the depth, if you move back your key light several feet, your exposure will not change on your face as much as it does now when you lean into the camera/light. It is something I'm sure very few people will notice, but since video is a photographic art/science, I think it will help present you in "a better light".
0:56 Yes. It seems overhead and down and then he backs out of it.
Julius Shulman's Stahl House photo is one of my absolute favorites! It feels like almost the opposite of Robert Adams' silhouetted woman in the Colorado Springs house. Where the latter is lonely and desolate, the former seems so lively and fun with the twinkling city below them.
When I started on my photography journey, I never would have guessed how much I ADORE architecture photography! I thought flowers were where it was at, LOL, and I still love flowers, but plop me in downtown Chicago or somewhere with great buildings and structures, and I'm happy happy happy. I so appreciate your videos that put famous and emerging photographers in the spotlight, Alex. This one was inspiring, as always. Thank you!
Awesome, thank you for watching.
Love the “Zim and the Zap and the Zam!”
Architecture photography always fascinated me, even as a photographer. I try to incorporate "artistic" elements from architectural pieces. I live in the New York City area, so I have lots of inspiration! Great video Alex and thanks for sharing the work of two photographic greats!
I am a builder and drawn to photograph the structural components of a building, be they old stonework, old timber methods of construction etc. Thank you for this. Comparing east to west yet they shall never meet. 🙂
G'day Alex, Every now and again I like to dip into the archives of people I enjoy listening to present their topics and this video of yours resonated very much with me, because of the topic and because of the focus on Ezra Stoller. I love the architecture he photographed and his style of photography.
Watching your video today, especially after being in NYC last year and photographing some of my favourite buildings, including the United Nations, I am inspired to look differently at some of the buildings in my own (small and not famous) city and hopefully bring something new to the visual diary of Adelaide.
cheers, and all the best
David
I enjoy all your succinct lectures. I too, wanted to be an Architect until I ran into the realities of the math and physics. I switched to photography only to find upon graduation that I couldn't spend 40 hours a week in a darkroom- asthma. I eventually became a cartographer. Shares a lot of letters with photographer... I'm back doing photography in my retirement thanks to digital.
Great presentation Alex, Julius Schulman so towers over architectural photography that equally talented artists like Stoller are often overlooked. As an aside, for anyone interested in Schulman should check out the documentary Visual Acoustics, it’s exquisite.
I very much wanted to be an architect when I was a teenager. Later I picked up a desire to be a photographer. I knew of the work of Ezra Stoller. As i recall, he was part of the Famous Photographers' School. A couple of years ago I wanted to revisit his work. Sadly, the family kept such a lock on his photographs that I was never really able to see them.
Great video Alex, I can relate I was always fascinated with modern architecture and their designers since first visiting the 1964-65 New York Worlds Fair at an early age.
Stoller and Shulman were both my two favorite architecture photographers of that period.
Thank you for introducing me to Ezra Stoller. I've been a fan of Julian Schulman for a long time, and have drawn inspiration from his work. Stoller's work adds a whole new dimension to roughly the same subject matter and gives me anoher perspective (literally and figuratively) for inspiration.
Interesting--I also studied architecture but I was primarily interested in residential at a time when the housing market was flat. I then shifted gears and ended up with a BFA in Industrial Design (product design--more how the product looks and feels rather than how it's manufactured, although that's an important consideration), although I paid a lot attention in my painting and sculpture classes! I've always had an affinity for architectural photography but primarily for the "abstract" geometry to be found in the details (within a structure or between structures) rather than looking to create a "documentary" image. That said, searching for context and functionality (the interaction between a structure with its environment) will likely produce more meaningful images.
Hi Alex, funny, just saw an arte report on the loewy house and the kaufman house yesterday. Greetings from Germany, Tina. Keep up the good work with your channel👍👍
I enjoyed this video as it contrasted with others that made me focus on atmosphere/the feeling you get from a photo often, I believe, because you have been there. I grew up, early years in Chicago with the sort of buildings you presented as well as those of the previous era(s). The Stoller images say cold, impersonal, often noisy environments with uncomfortable furniture. I would contrast it with the earlier Arts and Crafts period of warm dark wood, fireplaces, comfortable furniture contributing to a relaxed environment. The Stoller scenes are mechanical and seem to put you on the edge. Thanks for the continuing challenge to think. ☮
Thanks for watching.
Thank you. All the best. 👍📷😎
Plenty to think about in here, as usual. Always worth watching. Thanks.
Thanks for watching
Great video. I have become bored with bird photography and want to learn more about architectural and street photography but I am not good at it yet. It's been a bit frustrating. It's kind of encouraging to know that even brilliant photographers can't just switch genres easily. It makes me appreciate each genre even more.
Thought provoking again. Thank you...
I have travelled all over since SLR days and always only focused on architecture. Thanks for referring these 2 pro's. Can you do more videos in this niche? Thanks for your interesting perspective and channel!
Thank you for watching and for your comment
Great lessons 👌😉
WOW. Great video! Really motivated me to try architecture photography. All the best. Jim from Georgia
While most of my friends prefer natural landscape, I prefer "man made" landscape, and that includes architecture. These days I'm kinda "obsesed" with brutalist architecture. Some may dismiss it because it evokes coldness, soullessness, totalitarianism etc etc. I'd say it involves many huge blockish elements, which if viewed from certain angles may resemble abstract paintings.
Well regardless of the architecture genre, I also find it's interesting that many architects are also photography enthusiasts. We share the same fascination with composition :)
My Uncle was a famous Architect who moved to New Zealand when a young man.... so like you... think its in the blood for me.... been to New York a few times love the buildings.....
Been to the Guggenheim NYC which is of course a Frank Lloyd Wright creation.... He sort of invented spraying concrete over preformed (curved) plywood....but I love architectural photography too.... Nice video btw Alex thanks....
Thanks for watching.
Great inspiration!
Thanks so much!
v interesting 11mins on 2 photographers some v nice imagery. some genres are more challenging, inspiring content.
Very good point that one can be great at a genre, yet less so at another.
Great talk Alex, I find I like two periods of Architecture. The period from 1945 to 1970 where architecture became wide open in design. The other period is the Old World Italy, France, England. The large eloquent structures that are amazing in their construction. The old Churches I would love to visit and photograph.
Hey Alex, really enjoying all the videos. Have you considered taking the audio and making a podcast of it? It makes good listening on the road or working
Possibly, thank you for watching
Thanks for your excellent videos...now my new year's resolution is to get more serious...with my photography mainly due to you and a bit due to Ted Forbes who you speak of often..
(he is such a quick speaker)
His brain just hammers things out don't you know!!
I got several chances to visit and inspect Frank Lloyd Wrights Ennis Brown house in Los Angeles several years ago as a part of my job. It was very interesting and sad because being a fan of Wrights designs in all aspects of residential construction, I realized that many aspects of his work were for "look" but not for sustainability. The requirements of living needs were afterthoughts. I do still love the "look" . Thank you
\○/ you did it! Thank you for your work. Now I want more :)
I just got my hands on a remaindered copy of "Taking Place: Photographs from the Prentice and Paul Sack Collection," from a 2005 exhibition of the same name. (You can find used copies pretty inexpensively online.) Well worth a look, particularly if you like shooting architecture.
Had a look at Les Forrester someone mentioned.... almost abstract genre of architecture photography?
3:25: I grew up in Marin County, so I recognized that building immediately. It still photographs beautifully. (And yes, it's a Frank Lloyd Wright building, so the roof leaks :-).)
So we have about the same history /background.
I loved architecture and wanted to do that, but my 8th grade teacher told my "your zero in maths how do you want yo be an architect " not only he was wrong (maths are not the base of architecture) but the year after he was even more horrible!
So I went and studied photography and "mastered" architectural photography, that was my subject for my end of studies. For which I bought a sinar camera.
Always been interested in architectural detail photography. Finding patterns in construction and making my own photograph out of the found. I would call this architecture contemporary. I like Frank Lloyd Wright type contemporary concrete wood square rectangle space architecture. Wonderful video. I appreciate your perspective. You help me think more about photography and less about cameras. Which is good. For me.
That’s awesome, thank you for watching.
I have noticed that - regardless of time spent with a camera - people who love you tend to take photos of you that look more complimentary than those of people who don't or who are ambivalent to you. I suppose it is the same for things.
I think I know what's the problem with Stoller's Machu Picchu images. The genius of Machu Picchu is in how it both transforms its surrounding environment and melds with it. The Stoller images you showed don't engage the viewer with the Andean landscape at all. It's probably landscape specialists who take the best photos of places like Machu Picchu.
Think it's like being a tourist you can't really pick and choose your time of day to be there for ideal light for example.....??
8:17 can somebody spell that word for me
Julius shulman
1:15 pm ????? Not 12:15 ????
Daylight savings strikes again!
Sorry Alex his work did not do a lot for me when you consider the work of Julia Ana Gospodarou, Joel Tjintjelaar, or even Les Forrester from North Yorkshire. But an interesting listen all the same.
