Description
This photograph demonstrates Stillman's consummate skill with both photographic techniques and visual expression. The light through the intercolumnation of the temple is captured with great precision from a distance, which demonstrates Stillman's technical skill. He brings this accurate study of the structure together with a compositional movement that is suggestive of the dramatic experience of physically approaching the ancient temple.
