Julius Shulman 

I've been a big fan of Shulman's work and I'm currently shooting a mid-century home in my town (Stillwater, OK) that was on the cover of House Beautiful magazine in 1967, which I discovered was originally shot by Julius Shulman. The home was the cover shot for the magazine and as a real estate broker and photographer, I have access to the interior as well. It has been an incredible experience standing in the same spots as Shulman and shooting similar images from the magazine article. With the access I have I'm also documenting the home in video and with aerial video from my drone. So glad to see your piece on Julius Shulman and I highly recommend that everyone catch Visual Acoustics!

He slightly mixed up the date for the Case Study homes. However, the housing boom he mentions was also evidenced between both world wars. Shulman arrived on the scene in the mid to late '30's post WWI when the Bauhaus architects' designs (similar industrial and simple designs) were beginning to emerge in the residential markets. I think Shulman's early career success in the '30's was what really helped promote the mid-century modernist movement that we saw post-WWII.

Great stuff..Those houses photographed by Shulman with all the glass, black pillars and white panel walls remind me of the German Huf Haus of today, which I love..I love the contrast and sense of light to these photos.

I love how your videos don't have a cheesy intro, just straight to the meat!

if you like architecture, you should check out the Getty Museum, i don't know if they have a permanent photo exhibit, but as far as art goes, it's an amazing place, and the atmosphere there is out of this world

I love your show. Thanks

Shulman combines two of my loves, photography and MCM. Who in the world gave this the thumbs down???

i love you dude i really do, your shows save my life. Im new to photography and you shows really inspire me. Thanks!

Thanks Ted. You never fail to inspire and challenge!

At 7:10 what you have is the Brazilian Congress on the foreground and the Esplanada at the back (each a ministery building), all of it from Niemeyer. Indeed a super famous example of mid century modernism.

Thank you. Watched "Visual acoustics" as well in the meantime: impressive indeed.

Ted has my vote for best sign-off. It never fails! Love it!

Thanks Ted. I always look forward to learning about photographers presented on your show.

The picture @8:00 is of Brasilia, the capital of Brazil (which was built from scratch to be the capital).

So happy you decided to turn the gaze onto Julius Shulman... a pure icon of architectural photography!

Shulman è uno dei miei fotografi preferiti !

Hi Ted, just got around to looking at this. Great job. I think someone else pointed this out but at 13:19 that's the Chuey House not the Stalh house-don't mean to nitpick an excellent discussion.

Love the use of serious degrees of contrast in these shots.

Really appreciate these videos Ted. A little detail on equipment/format used, would be interesting.

Exquisite Docos....Such an education! Has taught me so much in the art of analysation. Many thanx.

These videos are great. Very much for the intelectual, highly skilled photographer, and not the weekend warrior.

The Producer of That Movie has to be a Genius! 🙌

fantastic one of my weekly highlights watching your videos

I really enjoy your RU-vid page especially it is wonderful during this time of the 2020 virus

yeah! love Julius Shulman!

I remember this period from illustrations and pictures in my parents collection of afoot Housekeeping magazines, etc.! However, what sets them apart from a simple publication is your in depth explanation and of course, Mr. Schulman's superb technique! Did he use medium format, perhaps 4 X 5?

Well done. I knew Julius and his Daughter Judy. Only thing that got me was you blew it when you referenced; Post WWI when it's; Post WWII. Thank you for bringing back great memories :-) Best, Donnie.

When I think of definitive LA photographers I think of Ed Ruscha.

J. Schulman.. another reason I love photography..

Shulman is a master. Thanks Ted.

I really appreciate the videos you do, Ted. I look forward to each new episode! Could you possibly do a show on digital color management for cameras, software, and making prints. I'm just beginning to learn about ICC profiles and feel like I fell into the deep end. My curiosity was first raised on this subject when the color on a few prints I ordered from adoramapics arrived looking considerably different than I expected. In a future Q&A episode, could you explain the process of ensuring accurate color reproduction from first taking a picture all the way to a final print? Thanks in advance and sorry if you've already covered this in another video.

The social commentary was very interesting - the context helped me understand the work.

Ted is even looking all LA in this ep, sporting the v neck and that chest hair...

Great episode!

Nice video, but I don't think the photo at 13:15 is of the Stahl house. The orientation is wrong, there is no rail along the front of the Stahl house and the interior globe light is dissimilar to the ones in the Stahl house (CSH 22). I agree, Julius Shulman is great. Also, I heard a rumor that the iconic photo at 14:21 of the two ladies in the Stahl house was a double exposure. Any thoughts on that? Possibly why the highlights aren't blown out? I'm not enough of a film expert to know.

Nice analysis

There are few house designs that just literally make me sad that I don't own. I want to own all those houses! Haha.

Dear Ted, You are expecting that I know a lot in the Julis Shulman episode :) I think you say at least 40 times the wording "you know". Please try to make a new record in your next episode and go for 80 times or just stop saying it. But please know that I like to watch your episodes. Best regards, Jeroen Verspuij

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Ted what an awesome introduction on Mr. Schulman's oeuvre! I watched the Netflix documentary on RU-vid, perhaps our Southernmost of the Rio Grande version of Netflix doesn't carry it, the link is here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gjBMgxLDTWM.html The documentary displays a full life and a keen eye for the 45 degree lines of the modernism era. It is what I learned from my dad's admiration to large format magazines as the depiction of Americana, albeit, other styles also emerged such as Bauhaus in Germany. I would love to live in such a house with so much view to see. And may we all have the full life that Julius Schulman had and that of the architects he immortalized photographically in his long and productive life! Can we see the Getty archives of Julius Schulman over the net? I'll instigate!

did you mean to say post wwll??
