This is a new series on the blog to highlight some of the ‘past masters’ that have inspired us all on our street photography journeys. This may not reveal any hidden gems, but will hopefully be a revealing series to allow the reader to view photobooks, images and you tube videos.

Garry Winogrand

was one of the most influential and prolific street photographers of the 20th century. His candid and dynamic images captured the essence of American life and culture from the 1950s to the early 1980s. He was a master of the snapshot aesthetic, using a wide-angle lens and a hand-held camera to create spontaneous and often tilted compositions that reflected his restless and energetic vision.
