Philip Lynch Style Assignment

Mimmo Jodice:

            Every photograph in the book is of architecture in cities around the world. All is photographed in black and white with a very slow shutter speed. I can tell it was photographed with a slow shutter speed because in some of the pictures where there are cars and people, they are shown not very clearly. Most of the photographs are shown from a high or level point of view. There are very few photographs that are looking up at the buildings or statues which is something that I found interesting. I also noticed that there are a few photographs within the book that it looks like Jodice was walking towards her subject just slightly while photographing it. Because in some of the photographs there is like a fairly small spot where everything is clear, but everything around it seems to contain a motion blur with the lines all pointing to the clear circle. It was a really cool effect that I think adds something to each of the photographs. He rarely had people appearing in his work, but they were never the subject. They were all either out of focus or had a motion blur on them if they were featured in the picture at all. I could tell that every photograph had something unique to it.
