Mr. and Mrs. Becher believe that heavy industry, as a product of the times, has its life cycle, and some specific buildings are built for social needs and will be destroyed due to social needs. At first, they wanted to record it by painting. Later, they found that the speed of painting could not keep up with the speed of building destruction, so they adopted photography. Influenced by august sander, a master of neo-objectivism photography in the early 20th century, their photography shows the characteristics of calmness, objectivity, accuracy, detachment and preciseness.
Different from august sander's classified photography, Bessie and his wife further added social and cultural considerations, introduced typology into their own photography system, perfectly linked different shapes and forms with very restrained and precise arrangement, classified and summarized the information of real affairs, and re-extracted it with the same and eternal internal logic. Through this external expression, the theme of photography that Bessie and his wife want to express is to find the constant essence from constant change.

I have to say, besides the characters, these buildings can objectively show the characteristics of a specific era and bring people into that era at a glance.
In terms of photography, Bessie and his wife adopted the way of "direct photography", adhering to the only subject, taking the front photos of the center from the perspective of onlookers, without any personal feelings, and without deliberately pursuing formal beauty from the perspective of seeking, that is, objectively recording the original appearance of the building. At the same time, it also abandoned the special light and only chose to shoot in the case of diffuse reflection on cloudy days. "People have never understood the' light and shadow charm' of shaping a good architectural photo", which makes the picture more objective and concise, and virtually obliterates the "time" limit.

Mr. and Mrs. Berschel study in Dü sseldorf School. Since then, their photography style has become the cornerstone of Dü sseldorf School. Extreme objectivity, calmness, accuracy, detachment and preciseness have become the specific style of Du School, which has also attracted a series of photographers to follow, such as Andre Guski (large-scale objective aesthetics), Candid Hoover (extremely symmetrical "big scene") and Thomas Struce. Even Dr. Sugimoto, Todd T-Bag, Thomas Dimander and mike wolfe, who shoot architecture with conceptual photography, can find the shadow of the Bessies.
Therefore, inspired by the Bessie couple's photographic works, we can understand the works of art in architectural photography from the following aspects:
0 1 cold noodles. Objective, neutral and calm, hiding the expressive desire of the building, so that the photos have a transcendental sense of accuracy. 02 rigorous. The rigorous composition has been done to the extreme. For example, in the movie above, the weather was cloudy, and the only subject was chosen to shoot in front of the center. There was no personal feeling and photography operation, so that every detail was displayed to a considerable extent. Every shot adheres to these principles. After shooting for 65,438+00 years and 20 years, a single work will give people the illusion that anyone can shoot, but when it becomes the shock of a series of works and the presentation of the imprint of the times, it will become a good product. 03 humanistic color. Looking at the things around you with a broad heart of compassion for the world seems to be on the sidelines and calm, but it is actually your own inner monologue, which makes more people suddenly realize after a long time: so it is!
