Garry Winogrands Photographs


I like this photo because he used the background quite nice showing the
patterns and shapes of the building. Drawing your eyes first to the
background then to the man.

This photo inspired me because he geniusly used the side-mirror of the


car to show the two lovers using a really huge negative space and depthof-field in the left side of the photo to draw your attention to the mirror.

This photo is caught my eye hilariously, I dont really know what is


happening here but its quite funny that sometimes we do silly stuffs
without noticing it. The lines are the biggest element here in my opinion.

This photo awed me because it is really nicely and finely compositioned.


Showing the texture of the wall behind the monkey and the lines caused
by the bars also the lines of the stick that the monkey is sitting on and the
other stick on the lower left.

I loved this photo because of the emotion he caught in the picture. Also
the Depth-of-field.

This photo has a similar technique as Henri Cartier-Bresson which is the


Framing Technique which draws your eye to what subject you really want
to show. The silhouette of the man is also perfectly caught which is
amazing.

This is a very Eye-catching photo showing unity between animals and


man. I also acknowledged the depth-of-field shown in the photo.

The composition of this photo is really good. Looking at the photo, it is


really sad to look at. It looks like that the Elephant wants to get out of the
space that he is on.

This is an interesting photo where the people are all looking downwards
respectively the bars has also a form of looking downwards as well making
it synchronized.

One of my most favourite photos where he Perfectly timed the jump of the
man. He also shot a perfect silhouette which are amazing.
