Behind the Camera - Scale

I’ve photographed the Bay Bridge many times, but this image came together because of something I couldn’t plan: the sailboat.

I was already photographing the bridge as the light was changing, working with the tower, the long line of the span and the large amount of open sky. Then the white sail entered the frame. Suddenly, the size of the bridge became much more obvious.

That small boat completely changed the photograph for me. Without it, this would mainly be an architectural image. With it, there is an immediate reference for scale. The tower, the length of the bridge and even the amount of open water feel much larger simply because there is something familiar to compare them with.

I deliberately kept a lot of space around the bridge rather than cropping tightly. I wanted the structure to sit inside the landscape instead of filling the entire photograph. The sailboat is small, but visually it has almost as much importance as the bridge.

That relationship is what eventually gave the photograph its name: Scale.
