He also created a follow-up from the era – late 1970s, early 1980s – when computers stopped being colourful and started wearing all beige. (Both galleries worth clicking through and clicking on + icons to zoom!) https://www.docubyte.com/works/i-am-a-computer/ …pic.twitter.com/CqThM7CTEH
Beautiful detail from the second link: the keys being pressed on all the keyboards match what’s happening on the screen.
Two more people doing fantastic computer photography:
@VanamoMedia, who documents common and rare gaming machines, and puts many of his photos in public domain.
His book just came out! https://www.amazon.com/Game-Console-Photographic-History-Atari-dp-1593277431/dp/1593277431 …pic.twitter.com/VHPEvfafT2

And Mark Richards, who photographed many computers of the CHM. His book Core Memory was just reissued after many years of absence – it’s a fantastic-looking coffee table gift: https://www.amazon.com/Core-Memory-Visual-Vintage-Computers/dp/0811854426 …pic.twitter.com/CcoKu3REPs

(Fun fact: Go to the Computer History Museum, enter the exhibit, turn right, and look at the huge photo on the wall. It’s attributed to Mark Richards, but it’s actually a photo of mine. That someone thought my work could be in the vicinity of his, felt like such a compliment.)
It’s so hard to take photos of computers. There are always weird cables, plastics don’t photograph well, screens are a small nightmare. I am in awe of how good these photographers are, and their work has genuinely been an inspiration.
For many, many years, I’d routinely travel to Apple Dot Com Slash PR Slash Products to download the latest hi-res product photography they had, and then study it. It was good. It was also probably all renders. The work of the people above is real – and much better.
I suspect most Apple photos are real, not renders https://www.theverge.com/2013/5/8/4311868/the-illusion-of-simplicity-photographer-peter-belanger-on-shooting …pic.twitter.com/4R9mh4yIiU
Ooooh, very interesting, thank you. I have seen a lot of speculation that those are rendered; maybe it’s just a compliment. :·)
