IIDA Perspective - Fall/Winter 2015 - 26

"I hope that when people look at my photographs, they seem
highly literate, well-composed, with the graphic qualities
organized and expressive," says Merrick, who teaches every
other year at the Santa Fe Photographic Workshops and whose
recent clients have included ZGF, Fentress and Krueck + Sexton,
as well as Perkins + Will, Gensler, and Skidmore, Owings &
Merrill, among others. "I'm very conscious of the direction
of the design, and I aid those pathways by lighting. And since
interior architecture is all about the creation of space, it's
critical for the photographer to create an illusion of three
dimensions within the two-dimensional surface of the
photograph. I work very hard to create that illusion with
auxiliary lighting."
At the same time, he says, "Just because they're more
interpretive photographs, and the frame is composed with
more intent, does not mean they don't serve a documentary
function. The client will always say, 'These are the important
spaces for us,' and that's always helpful."
Chicago photographer Barbara Karant, whose specialties
include interior architectural photography, agrees. "The
documentation of designers' projects is critical to my way
of thinking," she says. "It places their work in a continuum
of sorts, a historical context, whether it's within their own
practice or a more global perspective. And in five, ten or
twenty years, all that remains of a particular environment
or building may be the photograph."
