Paul Strand was born on October 16, 1890 in New York city. He was an American photographer who helped establish photography as an art form in the 20th century. Strand focused on three themes in the city of New York, which were movement, abstraction, and street portraits. He had been called the biggest, widest, most commanding talent in the history of American photography. He was influenced by modern painting and sculpture. Strand had an interest in film as well, he produced his first film in 1921 with Charles Sheeler. In 1984, strand was inducted in the International Photography Hall of Fame and Museum.
Our group decided to do this photographer because his work inspired us. The way he took pictures grabbed the viewers attention. Paul Strand would not just take a picture, he would also try to capture the meaning behind it. Some of his photos brought curiosity to me and sometimes an emotional affect as well. Our group really enjoy looking at his pictures because they were really good and it inspired us to take pictures the same way.
