Oh my, the last photo of the week was in February this year. Not good, must improve, or stop classifying things as [something] of the week.
This masterly image, Battersea Power Station in 1936, by Bill Brandt [1904- 1983] is one of his London night scenes, many of which can be seen in his 1938 book, A Night in London. Brandt, although originally German, through a German father and English mother, moved to London in the early 1930’s, later disowning his German heritage.
Unlike famous photographers, such as Henri Cartier-Bresson and Edward Weston, Brandt did much work to alter his images in the darkroom, emphasizing tonal contrasts, and cropping images. Brandt is widely considered to be Britain’s most influential photographer of the 20th century.
