 | An architectural purist from some bygone age would probably have major issues with the modern builder’s credo - Form follows Function. In other words, the aesthetic value of a building is a secondary factor to what purpose it serves. While this may not have been an alien concept in ancient times (witness the aesthetic functionality of Egypt’s pyramids) it has certainly been taken to the limit in modern times.
It is fascinating how contemporary buildings across the world reflect their specified purpose and the collective personality of their occupants. The often sterile, impersonal lines of a hospital stand in stark contrast to the sweeping planes and curves of a Mega Mall. If Form follows Function, we have certainly managed to bring the concept alive. Modern engineering techniques and newfangled building materials have afforded an artistic liberality to the science of construction that was hitherto unexplored. And yet, we see so little of what exists in this world of ours. We take so much for granted just because it is there, and do not consider the science of either architectural Form or Function beyond our own place in the sun.
Still life photography has many applications - in advertising, illustration and as an art discipline in itself. Basically being the photography of inanimate objects, it can elicit an unsuspected, thought-provoking message - and the royalty free genre of still life photographs allows for unconditional commercial, domestic and artistic use of these images.
There is magic to the enchanting manner in which the photographer has approached this theme. There is poetry in these images that range from derelict destitution to breathtaking modernistic beauty. In this fascinating collection, you will encounter professional photographic impressions of the shutterbug’s chosen theme. Your heart will yearn to be part of the beauty in some and balk at the very thought of such stark functionalism in others.
Houses and buildings from various schools of architectural thought are represented here, and it makes for an engrossing ride. The exquisiteness of a Swiss-style home cottage cannot fail to engage - nor can the austereness of a brick wall in extreme close-up. The fact is that our age has spewed up myriad impressions that simply fail to register with the untrained eye. The photographic collection on the Royalty Free Photographs: Buildings and Houses CD will serve as an eye-opener and provide new, fertile input for imagination. They are also entirely free of royalty parameters; meaning that no permission is required for their use in advertising, marketing, abstract composition or interior decoration.
These fascinating original still life images are true works of art and comprise one of the finest collections available in contemporary photography.

EDITORIAL REVIEW:
In still photography, Real Life is distilled from such diverse subjects as industrial sites, company logos, drainage grilles and various appliances of modern living - captured at abstract and often bewildering angles. It is amazing how an everyday object can assume new dimensions in extreme close-up or in unaccustomed context.
As a professional shutterbug, I must admit that this photographer has explored avenues in the theme of architecture that I have personally not thought of. Subject matter so readily available to the discerning eye is often overlooked even by celebrated photographers. All in all, the Royalty Free Photographs: Buildings and Houses CD is a revelation - a serious study of modern life that is alternately compassionate and dispassionate, as the subject and setting demands it.
If you are considering buying or building a home, are a student of ancient and modern architecture, or if your advertising agency could do with some fresh, obligation-free visual perspectives to exploit, then I strongly suggest you take a convenient afternoon off and browse through the fascinating visual treat on this CD. |
