Description: | A platinum print photograph of a glass globe on a windowsill, taken by Clarence Hudson White (1871-1925), in 1907. White captures the subtle, gentle play of light across this glass sphere. Influenced by the Symbolist art movement Photo-Secessionist photographers frequently made use of globes, glass spheres or crystal balls. Clarence Hudson White was a self-taught photographer from a poor background who went on to teach photography at Columbia University. He also established his own photographic schools in New York, Maine and Mexico City. White made bold use of light in his photographs, even pointing his camera directly into the sun or into dark shadows. A Photo Secessionist and member of the Linked Ring Brotherhood he also founded the Pictorial Photographers' Association. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Subjects: | photograph platinum print | Temporal: | 1907 | Source: | Science Museum | Creator: | White, Clarence Hudson (1871-1925) | Identifier: | 2003-5001/2/20550 | Go to resource |
