Reading Notes-pg. 194-197: Architecture

• Interior Views
• interiors can be just as interesting as the exteriors
• can be broken into overall room shots or detail shots
• can be seen as concentrating on the presence of the people who live in and use the rooms
• wide-angle lens for the entire room shots
• photographer is always limited as to where to place the camera
• if room is small---won't be able to back up to get the whole room
• normal lenses work well for detail shots
• use greater depth of field for interior, more specifically detail, shots so that everything is in detail
• remember---the higher the f-stop number, the greater depth of field
• may need a tripod for certain shots
• Berenice Abbott (United States, 1898-1991)
• an independent and individualistic woman who ignored what other photographers did and firmly believed in the value of being a self-taught artist
• blazed a path to a style of photography that was new to the twentieth century
• her work was characterized by exquisite lighting, interesting poses, and precise, formal compositions
• when she met Eugene Atget her time was devoted to photographing architectural subjects
