Our Speaker Today:
Steven Brooke, "Architechtural Photography"
Mr. Brooke is an internationally recognized leader in the photography of architecture, landscape, and interiors. Steven Brooke Studios also produces architectural photographic prints of the highest quality. He has his Bachelors in Chemistry and Psych and a Masters in Molecular Biology from the University of Miami. He is a fellow of the American Academy of Rome and the Albright Institute of Jerusalem. He has written and published many books and was on the front lines of the efforts to preserve the Miami Beach Art Deco movement. He is a teacher at the University of Miami School of Architecture in addition to being an avid businessman.
Mr. Brooke spoke to us regarding his work and lifes passion, architechtural photography. In the olden days artwork was not the focal point but was the canvas for which a story was told. Up until the 17th century architecture was a backdrop for biblical stories. Until the reformation, when paintings became not for the churches but of the churches. In the 18th century, architecture became a way for those traveling through Europe to document their journeys (otherwise known to us today as postcards!)
The aims of architectural photography are 1) documentation 2) depiction and 3) historic preservation. Mr. Brooke works to do just that. For more information and to view some of his works please visit www.stevenbrooke.com
