On Gary Winogrand - Sean O'Hagan (Thu 16 Oct 2014)

Street Portrait (*) - Westminster Bridge (*) / London (Sun 14 Sep 2014)
Sean O'Hagan (*) writes on Gary Winogrand (*) and Street Photography (*) :

His subjects tend to stare back at his camera sadly or in a slightly bewildered fashion. Around them, the world tilts – the horizon line is seldom level – but there is always what might be called a Winograndian logic to his compositions, an instinctive grasp of the geometry of a good photograph. His interest was the rhythm of the streets and the people who created it.

Jack Simon (*) writes On Street Photography (*):

So when I am shooting spontaneously on the streets, I think it is random events that hit my eye. I might see something interesting and respond to it. Sometimes I know what I got, sometimes I think I got something good, but don’t. Sometimes it is a total surprise. I might take a photo of something very quickly, without being quite sure of everything going on. And in the editing process I can discover interesting things.
