Way Back When: Julius Shulman

21Aug09


This weeks “way back when” spotlight goes to a photographer not a architect or designer. Julius Shulman is perhaps one of the most well know mid century modern photographers of all time. His client list reads like a who’s who of mid century design. The iconic photographs that he took were instrumental in both capturing the innovative architecture of the time as well as influencing main stream society’s idea of a “modern life”. In this great video Julius narrates some of his most well known photographs.

    Great find – love Julius Shulman’s atmospheric photographs – my friend Jake Gorst filmed what turned out to be the last interview he gave before his death. He was still working in his office at 98.

    Creede,

    Great find. I’ve watched/read a lot on Julius Shulman and this is one of the best videos I’ve seen.

    Cheers,
