Shutter Mike Photography

On Monday I posted architectural photography of One Bunker Hill’s lobby.  Today I have some detail shots of this historic building in Los Angeles.  The amount of detail in this building is amazing.  Everything from the heating grates to the floors to the ceilings had intricate amounts of detail work that adds to the character and historic significance of One Bunker Hill.  You can also check out the images of the first building photographed on the Shooting Architecture Weekend Workshop in LA here and here.

This is a continuation of the architectural photography I shot at the Shooting Architecture photography workshop in LA last month.  The first building we photographed was the Los Angeles Central Public Library (be sure to check out Part I and Part II of those photographs if you haven’t already).

This building is One Bunker Hill.  It was originally the Southern California Edison Company corporate headquarters when it opened in 1931.  One Bunker Hill is an art deco 14 story high rise with some very opulent interior styling.  Seventeen varieties of marble, murals on the walls and soaring 30 foot ceilings can be found in just the lobby.  Unfortunately we were not able to go to the private offices on the upper floors for this photo shoot.  But the lobby alone was a lot to take in.

This is the part two of my photographs of the Los Angeles Public Central Library which I photographed during the Shooting Architecture photography workshop weekend in July.  You can check out the photographs in part one for a refresher.  These images are from the rotunda space in the original 1926 structure.  This section of the library contains some fantastic murals by illustrator Dean Cornwell depicting the history of California on the four walls of the rotunda.
