Landscape - Bernd and Hilla Becher

A married team of photographers and artists Bernd and Hilla Becher are most known for creating typography and a series of photographs of structures and industrial buildings. In 2004 they were winners of the Hasselblad award as they were described as being some of the most influential artists of our time. They take photographs from different angles of a building they have picked and put the selected images together as a body of work focussing on one subject. Their images are documentary and keep record of the areas they are in. They have worked like this for over 40 years. Unfortunately Bernhard Becher died on June 22nd 2007 but Hilla still continues with their work and in the same style still by using already existing photographs they have previously shot together.
