FMP Contextual - Gary Winnogrand

Garry Winnogrand
Garry Winogrand was a street photographer, although I think his work is more social documentary based, best known for his portrayal of the United States in the mid-20th century. Winnogrand worked alongside Joel Meyerowitz, Lee Friedlander, Tod Papageorge and Diane Arbus in the 1960s, photographing the streets of New York.



Winnogrand's work looks really natural in my opinion, the subjects seem to be doing their day to day activity, instead of posing for a shot. I think this is one of the key features to his photography
