Garry Winogrand

Garry Winogrand appealed to me because the majority of his photographs were candid, natural photos

Winogrand continues to appeal to audiences because he succeeds in capturing everyday American life during the 1960s

Winogrand’s work might be used in contemporary media to show what everyday life was like in the mid 1900s
