Jacques Henri Lartigue
1894- 1986
Jacques-Henri Lartigue began taking photographs
when he was only 6 years old. He grew up near
Paris, France during the turn of the 20th
century. He did not establish his name by being
a photographer, but as a painter. Most of his life
he focused on painting being his full time job
and photography was a hobby. He kept an open
mind and was not influenced by the style other
photographers of this time took on because it
was only a hobby and he photographed for his
own personal interest.

white street
photography.
Elliot Erwitt
Edward Weston
William Klein
“Broadway and 103 rd Street. New York” (1955)
This picture is part of a collection which marked an important turning point in
the history of photography in the second half of the 20th century. This
collection was published in 1956 under the title “New York”. WILLIAM KLEIN,
who at the time was living and working in Paris, returned to the city where he
was born and with this collection about its street life turned the photographic
genre on its head. Using a high-speed and therefore grainier film he
introduced picture distortion and blurring without any hesitation. His
compositions, complex and apparently without order, set them apart from
existing canons. It resulted in an uncomfortable and crude photography that
probably wanted to reflect the sensations that the city and the American way
of life produced in him. A photography full of rage and a new way to express
itself. The author himself commented with fine irony on his own technique,
saying that it was “a crash course in what not to do in photography”. It’s
rather curious that an artist trained in France, where there were so many
good photographers at that time was so far from the perfectionism that
characterised the French photographic style.

Bill Brandt
Bill Brandt (May 3,
1904 – December 20,
1983) was an
influential British
photographer and
photojournalist known
for his high-contrast
images of British
society and his
distorted nudes and
landscapes.
Robert Capa
Capa is most famous for
his photograph of a
Spanish Republican
militiaman, right, taken at
the exact moment he was
shot on a battlefield during
the conflict. That photo and
the rest of Capa's work
transformed wartime
photography.

Robert Doisneau
Le Baiser de l'Hotel de Ville, Paris, 1950
Robert Doisneau was the ultimate storyteller. His pictures, well versed in
the laws and lines of photographic communication, became synonymous
with a way of life that we all now accept as ‘French’. Who cannot recall
the image of the two lovers walking past the Hôtel de Ville, in a
passionate embrace, or the iconic image of Picasso sitting at his breakfast
table, his hands miraculously metamorphosed into bread rolls!

James Nachtwey
"I have been a witness, and these pictures are
my testimony. The events I have recorded should
not be forgotten and must not be repeated."
