Paul Strand

A photographer I admire is Paul Strand. Strand was a photographer in the early 20th century who helped define photography as a form of art. He is known for his wide array of photos since his work varied from street portrait to urban hustle and bustle. Strand sought to express the feelings of his subjects in the pictures he took- whether it was a portrait or a landscape. He wanted to capture everything authentically and with respect. Strand was inspired by the works of Picasso and Alfred Stieglitz. Strand’s work ;aid the foundation for and inspired many other photographers. I admire Paul Strand because he wanted to capture a vast array of photos that demonstrated life as well as presenting the subject well. He seems to want to capture candid moments, life that has not been filtered or changed- just real life moments.
