A Practical Synergy
Two Photographers Specialize in Shooting Sculpture

by Wolfgang Mabry

The relationship between sculpture and photography is as old as photography itself. Greater portability of equipment and easier transmissibility of end-product make photography the perfect medium for distributing the impact of sculptures and their settings across great distances to great numbers of people. The educational, historical, political, polemical, and commercial implications and applications of this relationship have been demonstrated around the world for the past 166 years, often with astonishingly far-reaching consequences. Photography increases exponentially the visibility of sculpture, insuring the durability of this evolving, ever-productive marriage of artistic disciplines.
