Michael Collins is interested in Record Picture photography: the highly detailed, matter-of-fact genre that was traditionally commissioned by government and industry for technical documentation. This application draws on the most fundamental property of photography: its ability to depict with great precision. The aim is to produce a photograph that is faithful to the subject, where the emphasis is placed on description rather than interpretation.
