Street Photographers - Garry Winogrand

The images below are from the late American street photographer Garry Winogrand. Winogrand is best known for his images of America in the mid 20th century. The images I have chosen below are ones that I find the most pertinent, interesting and inspirational from those that I have viewed during my research.

This image was taken in Central Park Zoo, New York in 1964 and is a perfect example of how street photography can document changes through time as this is a scenario that would no longer occur in modern society.

This is an untitled image from the 1950's and is one of those perfectly timed images that shows how observant Winogrand was to the things going on around him - this moment could have been so easily missed!

This is one of those images that for me is decieving - at first glance it looks like the fish is gigantic and jumping into he water, but on taking the image in for longer you realise that this is not the case and that it appears the fish is being thrown across the camera, altering the perception of it's size and position within the image.
