Paul Mcmulin Architectural Photographer - part 3 of 1 2 3 4

Published 01/03/2003

Downstream from the cameras, he scans using the Imacon PII into a work-horse G4 Mac then transfers the digital file to another G4 on which manipulation work (if any) is carried out. He has recently acquired an Epson 7600, which enables him to output 24" high quality prints for corporate display work. After some skirmishes with the Matte Black Epson ink set he has fixed on the Photo Black with Premium Lustre as his preferred media option.

In October last year he travelled as a guest of The Andy Cole Children's Foundation to Zambia to shoot landscapes for a calendar to promote the plight of children in Africa. The limited edition prints for the foundation were made using Somerset Enhanced art papers on the 7600.

On the digital side, a Nikon D100 is used when time is of the essence and the limits of file size are known and fixed and indeed his American clients are now insisting on everything shot digitally. The 17MB file is adequate for about 10% of all the work undertaken. The constraint on super wide shots is a problem for all architectural photographers and although watching the development of full size chips with interest he probably will not be moving over for quite some time yet.

Like all who shoot architecture for a living, Paul has to operate a flexible timetable and he finds it a constant juggle dependant on Mother Nature for the provision of interesting light. Some of his most spectacular work has been made at dusk or very early morning.

Speed of working is an essential factor for this type of shoot and the Panorama Fuji has provided both the facility to operate under this pressure as well as the very special character inherent in its letterbox format. Mcmullin

The Liverpool waterfront image, taken speculatively last September, must rate as one of the best of this famous scene and because of the unique format has been used by numerous clients already.

The front has recently been proposed as a World Heritage Site and with Liverpool in contention for European capital of Culture he expects many more sales of this image during 2003.
