Typologies

E-resources.


The origins of typologies in photography came from the Germans Bernd and Hilla Becher. It was the subtitle of their first monograph 'Anon-yme Skulpturen: Eine Ttpologie Technischer Bauten"

Another photographer using typologies is Jeff Brouws. Influenced by the photographs by the artist Ed Ruscha, Brouws also created a series of photographs of 26 abandoned gas stations.

Typologies, are basically, similar objects that are  identified by their external appearance, and things that have that appearance have other things in common with it. So things are grouped together by how they look.
