Become a Better Architect Of Photography DVD Suggestion: I.M. Pei
January 4, 2007
I.M. Pei is a world famous Pritzker Prize-winning Chinese American architect, regarded as the last master of high modernist architecture.
His style is using the abstract form, using stone, concrete, glass, and steel (i.e. the Louvre Pyramid in Paris)
I.M. Pei is one of the most successful architects of the 20th century.
This DVD documentary of I.M. Pei is a personal and intimate time spent with a very talented artist, a charming and humble man.
So why should photographers watch this DVD?
I.M. Pei sees, thinks, waits and creates. His knowledge and experience can be a valuable guidance for visual creative artists.
I really enjoyed watching many aspects of I.M. Pei’s creative process and listening to his philosophy.
I.M. Pei approaches his customers with respect, with an open mind and being receptive of their needs, striving for simplicity and harmony.
When Pei brings his own ideas to the table he is able to remain persistent about carrying out his vision while remaining diplomatic and understanding.
Taking time is a key aspect of I.M. Pei’s work and he does return to this subject several times during the documentary.
He takes time to have his ideas mature then develop and go through many changes before the final product is produced.
