Description

In this dynamic course, students are introduced to architectural photography through lectures, practical discussions of appropriate equipment, shooting in the field, and work in Adobe Photoshop. First learning about the photographic pioneers who made architectural photographs in the 19th century, students are then assigned historic structures to photograph in the style of these early practitioners, such as Gustave le Grey and Baldus. The following lectures examine contemporary architectural photographers and the modernist movement, specifically looking at the work of Julius Shulman and Ezra Stoller; fine artists who use architectural photography to examine greater concepts, such as Andreas Gursky and Andrew Moore; and lastly, a special session devoted to photographing interiors. During class we will be photographing iconic New York architecture such as Daniel Burnham's Flatiron Building and the contemporary Frank Gehry IAC building by the High Line. In the digital lab, students will be introduced to special tools in Photoshop that zone in on issues native to architectural photography, such as perspective correction, High Dynamic Range and sophisticated color interpretation. The final session will provide for a critique of the work made during the course.
PREREQUISITE: PHC-1003, Black-and-White Photography, or equivalent, and a working knowledge of the Macintosh computer operating system and Adobe Photoshop.

We will explore the social and financial context in which dealers and collectors operate, with special emphasis on the dynamics of art collecting. Topics will include the relationships among artist and gallery; collector, gallery and the private and public (auction) markets, and how all these components are integrated into the larger "art scene." The role of the art critic, art journalist, art advisor and art curator will be explored, as well as issues of "vintage" versus "later" prints and the role of provenance when determining value. Through visits to Chelsea and Madison Avenue galleries, we will explore these factors and others that contribute to the aesthetic and cultural values of both photography and contemporary art, and how these interact with market forces.
