Gary Winogrand Research.
Gary Winogrand was born in New York, where he became interested in photography whilst serving in the military as a weather forecaster. He was educated in painting at City College, 1947-48 and at Columbia University 1948-51 where he learnt how to develop and print photographs. in 1951 he studied photography with Alexey Brodovitch at the New school for social research. afterwards he worked commercially for photography agencies, freelanced for magazines and also did personal work.
Winogrand photograph's were exhibited widely during his life time.
Gary Winogrand's photographs are sophisticated chance observations of the daily life that demonstrates mastery of the 35 millimetre camera. Winogrand was fond of visual puns and titled exposures he said "To see what the world the world looks like in photographs."
What I like about these 3 photographs they stood out to me that they were very natural 'no one had posed for the photograph' this gives it a lot better look, also the use of natural light within his work is very strong as you can see in image three the blocks of natural light and also the shadow really attracts the eye to this photograph.
Also on photograph one I like how the subjects all in the shadowed light and like an outline were the bright natural light is behind the actual subjects helps to not distract your eyes away from the subject of the image.
