Julius Shulman Documentary

What did I learn about architectural photography? 


Julius talks about how there can be a story and outline to every photo he takes. It is great if you can find unique structures, but you don't always have too. He can take an old boring room and maneuver the camera just right to add feeling and touch to the picture. Just by moving an object a few inches, he can create a new style and look to the picture. Julius made a great point when he said that the camera is the least important part about making a photography, but it is the eye! With your eye,  you can see so many different picture options, you just need to be able to display them through the camera. He is always trying to find different  elements of a picture that no one has thought of before. To take his pictures, he uses his camera, light, a sheet over his head, and a tripod. (etc.)
