In lessons we were given lots of famous and inspirational photographers and I decided to do some more research into them.

She spent most of her productive life in Photography in New York. Her Work includes portraiture and modernist experimentation. She was also an educator, author and historian. She photographed New York cityscapes.

Minor White

He was an American Photographer, educator, poet and critic. He was a textural photographer and many photographs include things like trees, bushes, cracks in the road or a rusted up pipe or car. He co founded the magazine "Aperture" with Ansel Adams.

Diane Arbus

She started taking her own photos in the early 1940's and set up a fashion photography buisness with her husband Allan Arbus. She took real and raw photos of NYC street life. She focused on people on the edge of society- Freaks, transvestites, dwarfs and giants.
