A Photographer Who Inspires Me

"I photograph to see what the world looks like in photographs."  

                                -Garry Winogrand

A street photographer who captured American life in the mid-twentieth century. His work consisted of depicting social issues while roaming the streets of New York. Much of his work is photographs driven by the energy of the events he was witnessing. Photography for me is, what I see. What I want to always see: what I want to remember. Which is what Garry Winogrand had done.

Garry Winogrand's work inspires me. It is one of many major influences that conduct my finger to click the shutter release button. When I think of photography, I see capturing images of where life happens; outside. From this photo, there are aspects of the photograph that come into one. The bench that crosses the page with women scattered differently through, and the background showing small crowds of people. I particularly like this photograph because of the distinctive positions of each persons leg whom is sitting on the bench. 

Garry Winogrand creates so much from his work. For more information on this photographer visit his work from the link
