Photographers

Garry Winogrand was an American street photographer who lived from 1928 to 1984, known for dynamic, often tilted black-and-white images of everyday American life shot largely in New York, associated with the social landscape school of street photography alongside Diane Arbus and Lee Friedlander, all three shown together in curator John Szarkowski's landmark 1967 Museum of Modern Art exhibition New Documents. He was extraordinarily prolific, leaving behind roughly a quarter million unedited images at his death.
