Photographic typologies

Images from 100 Abandon Houses  – A record of abandonment in Detroit in the mid 90’s by Kevin Bauman
Chocolate Bar Cross Section by Rachel Been
James and Other Apes by James Mollison
 
The term Typology was first used to describe a style of photography when Bernd and Hilla Becher began to documenting German architecture in 1959.
Each photograph was taken from the same angle, at approximately the same distance from the buildings.
