A master of film, now on film.

The next best thing to actually spending a day with photographer Julius Shulman, is virtually spending a day with him – which is possible with the release of Eric Bricker’s documentary: Visual Acoustics: The Modernism of Julius Shulman. Now open in New York and opening October 16 in Los Angeles, the film examines how Shulman’s work impacted architectural history. Peppered with Shulman’s quips and anecdotes (and a bit of gossip) about some of architecture’s most iconic figures, Visual Acoustics is a marvelous refresher course on the subject of modernism. You’ll also pick up photography tips from the master himself, as Shulman discusses his use of one-point perspective and how to avoid distortion through a wide-angle lens. He jokes, he reminisces, he basks in well-deserved praise. A fun ride that’s touching, informative and stunning, I strongly recommend you check out this film. For a sneak peek and a chance to meet Bricker, go to the DWR Beverly Boulevard Studio on Wednesday, October 14.
