His photos have been exhibited in the United States, Britain, Germany, France, Denmark, Norway, Belgium and other countries, and have appeared in newspapers and magazines all over the world. In 20 13, 33-year-old John was the collector with the most photos of Vivian. Malaf co-directed the documentary Looking for Vivian? FindingVivian Maier has been shown in American cinemas since March 20 14.

In Vivian? In Meyer's most charming street shooting, the characters have an extremely? Enchanted? Or? Deep in thought? The state of. This kind of absolute close-range snapshot, a brief encounter with the original feelings of human nature, subverted all the street photographers in the past. And then what? Fierce? Male street shooting is different (William? Klein's madness, Lee? Frilander's complexity is bitter, and Vino Grande's existence is chaotic), and her street photography pays more attention to nuanced characters' expressions and human landscapes. Because of her own life experience, most of her photography works are marginal people. This made her the greatest documentary artist in the 1950s and 1960s.

2.martin? Parr. British consumer documentary photographer

Martin? Martin Parr

Martin? Parr (martin parr, 1952? ), British documentary photographer, member of magnum photos. His daily photography is humorous, reflecting the mediocrity and boredom of the consumer society. 1995, Bresson said angrily after watching his film exhibition at the National Photography Center in Paris. You're completely from another planet. ? Colorful photos mock the empty game in the capital world and represent a new direction of contemporary subjective documentary.

Martin? Parr has been to China eight times, but he is not satisfied with the photos he took in China. On the contrary, he has doubts about the current situation in China. ? I want to show the rise of new economy and new consumerism in the world? The middle class in China may account for 10%, and when it reaches 50% in the future, it will become a great trouble, resource consumption, environmental pollution and so on. Is wealth creating problems, not solving them? This is a huge and cruel country, full of dramatic and warm atmosphere, always changing. ?

3. Elad? Leslie. A new generation of cross-border influence photographers

Elad? Elad Lasley.

Elad? Lasry (1977-), born in Israel, is an American contemporary artist and now lives in Los Angeles. His works span photography, film, painting, sculpture, installation and other fields, thinking about the possibility of different forms of image communication, bringing the viewer into the complex world of space, image, entity, color and structure, thus blurring the boundaries between art, photography and perception, so he can be called photographer Elad? The scene of Lasry's works broke the stale and outdated expression of the photo exhibition. Images always play the role of communication or delay with physical objects: photos tied to the wall, bed-like devices that block people from approaching, half-covered and half-covered photography, and curved walls expose a corner of the image. Do both pictures and sculptures look like cucumbers? In function and meaning, it opens up a new formal framework, thus realizing the possibility of in-depth communication.

Elad? The iconic innovation of Lasry photography is mainly manifested in: 1. The photo and the background frame are the same color, which brings a kind of? Overflow? Real visual experience; 2. The mashup of images and objects blurs the boundary between 2D and 3D; 3. The application of pan-image means juxtaposes photography with movies, paintings, sculptures and installations, which contributes to the frame-based creative method in the post-image era.

4. Wolfgang? Tillmanns. A person who redefines photography

Tillmanns (WolfgangTillmans, 1968? ), a person who redefined photography, the most influential photography artist in the past twenty years, gained a whole new world in what to shoot and how to express it.

His works are exhibited and collected in important art museums and galleries around the world.

Tillman's works challenge the limits of photography and art? My job makes the society think about what is acceptable. What others think is terrible may seem beautiful to me. ? He never mounts the photos, but sticks them directly on the wall. ? I never use the conventional means of the art world to raise my work. ?

Only when you see a wrinkled T-shirt surrounded by exquisite18th century oil paintings can you understand what modern and contemporary photography is. In an era of image flooding, rough personal images abound. The problem is to find the worthless value and abstraction of ordinary things. From life scenes to images to artistic scenes, the most important photographers in the world today pay attention to the related exhibition and even the whole process of photography.

This is the famous album "Narrative of Sexual Dependence", which was exhibited in major art galleries in the United States for the first time in the form of soundtrack slides and published in 1986.

This album has laid the foundation for Moriyama's wild and amazing personality style, which is different from the humanistic documentaries of Kimura Yi and Domon Ken, and also different from the subjective documentaries of Dongsong Lighting, which makes Daido Moriyama stand out.

/kloc-during the period of 0/960-70s, Daido Moriyama was addicted to the origin and essence of photography and created many wild and rebellious classics, such as "Mayfly" and "Ah! Wilderness, Farewell Photography, Tales from afar, Hokkaido, etc. The' 80s? He woke up from the fetishism of light? Return to daily light and shadow (1982). After the creation of the "hysteria" trilogy in 1990s, black and white color photography has been established. Daido Moriyama and Master William? Klein held a joint retrospective exhibition in tate modern and was awarded the lifetime achievement award of the International Photography Center (ICP).

Daido Moriyama is also a master of prose, and his experience and writing style are perfect. ? Life has nothing to do with age and other conditions. The test has always been severe. We must meet the last day of our lives, and we can't turn back. Therefore, we don't need to care about age at present, just try to live willfully. This is the taste of life. I have burned my bridges a long time ago, and I live every day to meet the challenges that come one after another in my life. ? (Going to Another Country)

8. Masao Yamamoto? Nothing, spiritual teacher

Photographer Masao Yamamoto

Masao Yamamoto (1957? ), an internationally influential Japanese photographer. His photos are small in size and ethereal in composition, blurring the boundary between photography and painting. Usually, he makes the photo old and dark (even unclear), deliberately tears it into pieces and paints on it? The works are full of profound Zen and the essence of oriental philosophy. His photography is like haiku. Speaking of this, he said: At first glance, haiku seems to only record the phenomena and events that have happened with the law of language "five, seven and five", but it is arranged with seemingly simple auxiliary words. The expressions in different seasons are skillfully matched, which not only expresses the literal meaning, but also expresses the three-dimensional vivid image. The use of simple expressions in haiku makes us feel the vastness of the world, which I think is very powerful. As my own expression, photography is different from painting. It has no material, I can capture a picture with a click, and I use black and white with few colors. Even in contemporary art, photography belongs to a category with relatively simple creative elements and skills. This is my black-and-white photo and haiku. ?

Like Bresson, Steve? Macaulay is also a very strict master. ? I used to use 800 to 1000 films for each lens, but I actually used only 20 to 25 films. ? His photos always show the moment when the story is about to happen, with unusual light and shadow effects and color expression. ? For me, the most important feature of a work is independence. Just one photo can bring you a story. ?

10. Stephen? Shore? Master of color photography in new space

Playing with a camera at the age of 6,/kloc-sold three photos to new york Museum of Modern Art at the age of 0/4, and became Andy at the age of 0/7. Warhol, a dedicated photographer, became the first living artist to hold a solo exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York at the age of 23. At the age of 35, he became the head of photography department at Hudson's Bader College? He's Stephen? Shore (Stephen Shore, 1947? ), a master of new color photography, has influenced several generations of photographers with his photography focusing on the essence of color and space.

Stephen? The emptiness in Shore's photos seems to represent an empty and poetic modernity. He benefited from Paul? Paintings by Heineken, Monet, etc. It is also from/kloc-Claude in the 0/7th century. Looking for the form of stimulating content in Roland's landscape paintings. As a photographer and theorist, he never talks about composition, but always devotes himself to exploring visual structure. ? Painters start painting from a blank canvas, while photographers make decisions from a chaotic world. ?

Bart was right. Some photos are too noisy. This era, especially color photos, is noisy and lively, and always wants to express interest, meaning, thoughts and feelings? Rarely like Stephen? Take a shore photo like this? Nothing? Color photos. Material level, descriptive level, psychological level, psychological model? The book The Essence of Photographic Works, which has been published in China, seems to be extremely refined nonsense, but this is the essence of photographic works: there is nothing in the world; Only silence.
