I just picked up a copy of Cervin Robinson's Cleveland, Ohio. Absolutely great architectural photography, by the way. Anyway, I've had a hard time find ing any information about Cervin Robinson except for a few cursory references in a couple books I've read. Does anyone know of any good sources of information either on the photographer specifically or his technique? Thanks much.
There was an interview with him in View Camera magazine quite a while ago- check the back issues. Cervin was the co-author of "Architecture Transformed", which is a great history of architectural photography.
To add to David Rose's post "Architecture Transformed" by Cervin Robinson and Joel Herschman - jointly published by Massachusets Institute of Technology and The Architectural League of New York. ISBN: 0-262-18121-5 Cervin wrote the Introduction and parts II, III, IV.
Also, "The American Architectural Photographer" Rockport Publishers ISBN: 1-56496-073-0 highlights Cervin's work and there is an essay. In gthis book Cervin's contact details are given: 251 West 92nd Street, #10E, New York, NY 10025 - 212 873 0464
