Garry Winogrand

Starting out as a freelance photojournalist, Garry Winogrand helped to redefine street photography in the 1960s and 70s. He used a 35mm camera and avoided technical effects, preferring to exploit the camera’s mechanical ability to render movement and space as a still, two-dimensional image. In the street, Winogrand improvised with the camera frame. He would typically ‘overshoot,’ taking hundreds of photographs from different angles as his subjects moved and situations changed. Later, in the darkroom, he studied the results and selected only a few photographs to print.
