Highstreet

Street photography is photography that features the human nature with public places

Alfred Steiglitz

Stieglitz was a major force in the promotion and elevation of photography as a fine art in America in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. His own photographs had an equal impact on the advancement of the medium.

Stieglitz took this picture using a small 4 x 5 camera, equipment not considered at the time to be worthy of artistic photography. Unlike the unwieldy 8 x 10 view camera which required a tripod, this camera gave Stieglitz greater freedom to roam the city and respond quickly to the ever-changing street life around him.

Richard Avedon - American Beauty

Avedon sought to create something new and inspired in his photography. He would capture his models in a whole variety of expressions and poses; laughing, frowning, dancing and even jumping, his fashion photography portrayed charming out the life in his subjects.

That kind of out-of-the-box imagination certainly paid off as one of his photographs, Dovima with elephants (the first image in this post), fetched a price of $1.151 million at an auction, making it one of the most expensive photographs in the world.
