The other day in New York will open an exhibition of Scott Francis "Monovision" ("Monovision"). It will show 68 photographs of buildings that embody the lifestyle of their owners. A modest cottage in the woods or a mansion with a huge pool can tell a lot about the owners. And the pictures of Scott Francis will convey this information to a large audience.
The best photographs of buildings, taken by Scott Frances, are frequent guests in such popular publications as Vanity Fair, New York Times Magazine and Architectural Digest.
The talented photographer lives in New York, but, as usual, he has to travel a lot for work. Still, because Scott Francis collaborated with all the best architects in the world, took photographs of buildings scattered almost all over the planet! His lens has repeatedly caught the homes of stars like Jennifer Aniston, Elton John or Apple co-founder Steve Jobs.
The exhibition "Monovision" is a visual analogue of a monograph - a scientific work devoted to one topic. The difference is that Scott Francis's work is not verbal, but visual. However, the author also released a book, right for the exhibition. In the foreword, renowned architect Richard Meyer highlights the main theme of Scott Francis's photographs - the dialogue between nature and civilization, natural and man-made.
The building must fit into the landscape, and the task of the architectural photographer is also to demonstrate how this happens, whether the balance is maintained in the "nature - man" system.
The exhibition of photographs by Scott Francis will last more than a month - until the end of July.
