I have a project I am hoping to work on later this year. A small part of it will be focused on architecture and I realized that I know next to nothing about architectural photography. As luck would have it, my favourite bookstore, Oryx Books on Prince William, had a copy of Terry Hope’s Architecture: Developing Style in Creative Photography. It’s a really good book on the subject. Each page features a photograph and a short explanation provided by a photographer about the technique used and the reasons behind specific decisions on composition, lighting and processing. It has real gems that I am dying to try out. For example, this is what Tom Baril has to say about his photo Factory (last in the first row): I decided to start experimenting with the building of Saint John High School. It’s an interesting building that has an old part build in 1932 and a much more recent expansion. This is an LC1 shot. These days I use it very much in the same way you would use a polaroid back on a medium format camera.”I produce majority of my prints on Kodak Ektalure paper and add tone by immersing them in a bath of cold tea, which gives them a green patina. There’s no great secret to this process: I generally use about eight Liptons tea bags per gallon to make my working strength solution!” | |
