From ASMP/LA :
Norman McGrath is an architectural photographer famous for his work, his workshops, and for his books, one of which, Photographing Buildings Inside and Out is a standard text for architectural photography.
The newest version, Architectural Photography: Professional Techniques for Shooting Interior and Exterior Spaces, is out now, and will be available to buy - and for Norman to sign.
He will speaking here about that new book, which addresses the many changes in technology in recent years, and he'll be demonstrating two new tilt-shift lenses that have been creating some excitement, Canon's revamped 24 mm, and especially the 17 mm - the widest lens of its sort, ever.
He'll also be discussing HDR (High Dynamic Range) photography - a way of extending the information in a digital file to include detail in the highights and shadows.
Trained as a structural engineer before becoming a photographer in the early 1960s, he is the only Canon Explorer of Light who is also an architectural photographer. He has taught at the Maine and Palm Beach workshops, as well as Havana, Cuba.
His photos have appeared in every major shelter magazine in the world, including Architectural Digest, Interior Design, Architectural Record, along with Art in America, New York Magazine, and Life.
He has also shot for more well-known architects than can be listed here, as well as for the New York Museum of Modern Art, Sotheby's, Tishman, and the New York Philharmonic.
It is a rare event for McGrath to speak in Los Angeles, and even rarer for him to be giving a workshop here.
