Street Photography- Gary Winogrand

This image was captured by Gary Winogrand. While this is not what I would typically think of when thinking about street photography, I really think that this is a great photograph. Many of Gary’s street photographs feature people. This adds more detail and uniqueness to each picture. Because the photo is in black and white, it cancels the noise of color in the photo and forces the viewer to focus on each and every detail as well as the strategic camera placement and shadowing. The blurring of the background allows for the acrobat to stand out which pulls the viewers eye to the center of the photo. Overall, I think that Gary’s photography style is unique and allows his photos to stand out among others that fall under the same title.
