Julius Shulman-Vest Camera "Woman & the Ocean" Malibu, Ca. 1933
It's interesting to see Julius Shulman's work when the subject is not architecture. This is a very moody and artful image.
When Los Angeles was young, a budding, curious photographer roamed the land. With his Vest Pocket Kodak, a compact, folding camera, he captured people, industry, and fun.
This is one of those early works. Known especially for a far-reaching catalog documenting the mid-century modernist architecture, the vest pocket images show another side of the artist.
With impeccable control of light, timing, and framing, the young Julius Shulman (b. 1910, New York City; d. 2009, Los Angeles) captured life in Los Angeles including, friends, hikers, “Hollywoodland,” refinery tanks, oil derricks, roads under construction, and more. Through these images one can see the promise of Los Angeles and the talent that would become Julius Shulman.
