Class Notes architecture and urban landscape

-Architectural photography is indirect portraits
--material. style and scale provide clues about who people are
-use of symmetrical balance. minimal use of people (alters you to size and porportion)
-find line shape and form in every picture for architecture. all things exist.

Fresdrick H. Evans
-cathedrals in London-emotion with use of light (record emotion rather than photography)
-worked with platinum papers (silver and platinum=chemical reaction=exposes)--platnotype
-WW1-platinum was used for bombs=prices went up so he couldn't use it.
3 kinds of shots:
DETAIL SHOTS-specific part of big picture
BIG PICTURE-everything around
INTERIOR
Ezra Stoller
Influential architecutral photographer
-use of framing and black and white

-focus on full view-emotions of full space and emotions connected to it. Like a portait
-either have emotion or ideas of the detail
-personality of the space and its relationship to its surroundings
