Garry Winogrand: The Godfather of Street Photography

In the early 1960's most pictures were taken for some purpose, used for news articles, magazines, advertisements, etc. Pictures are seldom seen as art. This change in photography is largely determined by photographers like Garry Winogrand who turned the photo into art. Winogrand symbolizes the appearance of a new generation of photographers in the mid-1960's and is known as a "street photographer". Each photo is a simple everyday life, but each picture contains a much deeper individual message than seen through the lens.

In street photography, Garry Winogrand, Saul Leiter, Bruce Davidson, and countless photographers bring cameras wherever they are every day. They will continue shooting. It will be a photographer meeting with Garry Winogrand and will introduce ourselves as a photographer. He replied: "Where is your camera?" Winogrand believes you are not a photographer if you have never had a camera. The end of the story. I know what you are thinking. It is too easy to wait. Do I need to become a tortured soul? Do I have to walk around the world, use hallucinogens, face my devil, hit the bottom, and dig down my inner pain? Will this pain bring spark of creativity to me? Will the pain deepen my work?

Award-winning writer Geoff Dyer praised Winogrand's work for a long time. Based on John Szarkowski's classic "Atget", the street philosophy of Garry Winogrand is a collection of 100 photos carefully selected by the Winogrand Archive of the Creative Photography Center, each containing original articles. Through symbolic and invisible images of archives containing 18 unpublished color photographs, Dell made crowds / readers crazy and ingenious. This book covers most of Winogrand's themes and themes and is still widely faithful to the chronological and geographical facts of his life, but Dyer 's response to these photos is not legitimate, awake , And often are lively. . This unparalleled combination of photographers and writers, images and text, is itself a Dyer's claim to Winogrand photography - the view of education

From Garry Winogrand, I learned that the photo is about curiosity. As he said, "I take pictures to see what the photos of this world is like." This means that when you shoot the world it looks different from the real "real world" world. That's why the pictures are fun for this (one of the reasons I like to make movies - you never know what the final product is). Take self photos and shoot yourself. Shoot the people you love. And please always meditate on the fact that your loved one will die someday - some people die before you, others die after you. But for me, the picture gives me the opportunity to admire my loved one and remind myself. "Eric, it will not be a waste even a day"
