Hilla and Bernd Becher are a German couple that changed the course of twentieth century photography working as a couple they took photos of the disappearing industrial building and areas around western Europe and northern America
in 1976 Bernd Becher started teaching photography at Kunstakademie Düsseldorf.
when the Becher’s where talking there photos they didn’t want anything that wasn’t the the subject of the photo so sometimes they had to wait for clouds to go by to take a photo or wait for winter. and that’s why every photo you see of there’s kind of has the same feel as the last one and that’s why there work is seen as art.
here’s some photos that Hilla and Bernd Becher. as you can see there style kind of looks like passport photos and most of them are in a collection of the same type of equipment such as waters towers, warehouses, gas containers, etc.
Hilla Becher died on October 10 2015 and Bernd Becher died in June 22 2007
