Scott Peterman obtained a MFA at Yale University
school of Art. Photo District News named his first monograph as one of the best
25 photo books of 2006. Some of his work is of a collection of large buildings
within a city. He usually takes these photos form a high vantage point over
looking his subject. His work has been displayed in many publications such as
New York Times Magazine, Fortune, and Forbes.
Peterman’s
works displays and captures the immense size of these buildings and areas surrounding
them. This could not be done from many other positions. Even though we know cities
like New York have large populations of people, in some of his work he manages to
depict that the city is lifeless.
Peterman’s
work really pulled me in by having such great view points. Although he usually
gives a lot to look at I still felt as though something was missing. Weather intentional
or not he was able to make the cities seem lifeless while events were going on
in the images. What I would like to take from Peterman is to change the perception
of a photo just based on how you take it, and without any later alteration.
