Kodak Head Office

I really like this photograph of the Kodak head office. This photo was taken in 1902 on Clerkenwell Road in London. To me it marks the beginning of photography.

If you look closely at the building you will notice that every window has the brand name Kodak along with the huge letters of the company on the side of the building and a Kodak banner on the top of the building with the company's logo "you press the button, we do the rest".

The photographer took this picture so the whole Kodak building would be framed in the shot. If this picture was framed differently, such as, a tighter shot or a shot taken further away it might have a different effect on how people view it.

  1. A very intresting picture. A sort of a very humble Kodak advertising campaign ;) Really good framing. It becomes immediately obvious that the building and the company, which is inside, are the main subjects of the picture. It's really difficult to make archetecture and which is more the spirit of the company the main character.

  2. What a great photograph of a key subject in photography! Be sure to read the pdfs posted in Blackboard under Assignments before posting to your blog. You used one of the required terms (frame) but the assignment specified to use two.
