#7 Black and White: Sheds
Inspired by Bernd & Hilla Becher
The two artists first collaborated in 1959 and were married in 1961. They began working as freelance photographers, concentrating on industrial photography. From their first series of photographs of water towers, the artists have not veered from architectural portraiture subjects, using both industrial and domestic structures such as gas tanks, silos, framework houses, and the like.
Many of the industrial plants they photographed no longer exist. The buildings were already under threat of closure or of being torn down when the Bechers set about photographing them. Their photographs therefore have a major significance for cultural history, if only for historical documentary reasons.

Due to the lack of light I had to take this photograph with a slow shutterspeed and a very high ISO.

Aperture : f 5.6
ISO : 1000
Shutterspeed : 1/20 sec.
Focal Length : 42 mm
