Abstract

Representation of architecture is inextricably linked to photography since the mid 19th century. As buildings are commonly discussed on the basis of images, understanding their technical origin is key to reading and making them. By teaching students how to use a 4x5'' view camera, the artist and photographer Tobias Wootton will introduce different techniques of 'thinking through the lens'.
