  12. Max Dupain Concrete support Beams (Sydney Opera House) 1962 Gelatin silver photograph 56.9 x 44.6cm  In the late 1940s Dupain increasingly specialised in architectural photography and photo-documentary. He chose to work outdoors rather than in the studio in order to capitalise on the bright Australian light, wishing to show ‘a thing clearly and simply’. Dupaindeveloped a longstanding working relationship with modernist architect Harry Seidler after Seidler’s arrival in Sydney in 1948, and in the 1960s and 1970s he documented the building of the Sydney Opera House. ‘Concrete support beams (Sydney Opera House)’ is a severely formal image emphasising the power of material and the soaring structure of the building. The lines of the concrete darken towards the viewer and the light is caught head-on streaming in at a distance. The only disturbances are the variable marks on the concrete and the small form of a worker in the distance silhouetted against the light. The workman further emphasises the monumentality of the structure and is an important counterpoint – the opera house was made by workers such as this man.
