Julius Shulman was one of my favorite architectural photographer, being was one of the best and still is in my heart. He expresses architecture in the period of modernism through photographs with a glimpse on the people living in the house. Not only the architectures he shot are iconic but it is also undeniable that the photographs of Julius Schulman is as iconic as well. The uniqueness of Julius’ photos must be how he captures the most beautiful design element from the architecture and expresses it together with the lifestyle of the habitant.
Shulman’s work is not considered a “product of architecture” but the work itself demands that it is an independent form of art. As said above, every images taken by Shulman really has its uniqueness of his perception to the architecture and his understanding of the relation between the building and its context. His pictures are so beautifully composited that it makes many of his work an iconic architectural photos of the modernism era. As he believes that the precise compositions reveal not just the architectural idea behind a building’s surface, but also the vision and hopes of an entire age. A sense of humanity is always present in his work, even when the human figure is absent from the actual photographs. In contrast, Placing people in the architecture shows architecture being functional. When people appears in the picture, the audience would draw themselves to be one of those and by this, the audience of the photograph see another dimension of architecture where they get involve as a part of the architecture by seeing sample of how it can be use, live and work in the architecture.
Julius Schulman has taught me so much about the little details in architecture and he will always live in my heart.
