William klein's evaluation

Klein, who rose from the ashes to become a superstar, has published four best-selling albums-new york (1956), Rome (1958), Moscow (1964) and Tokyo (1965). From the title of the book, we can know what Klein wants to express-the life scene of urbanites. From beginning to end, his photography is street life. Street photography has become the mainstream of image expression since 1950s, and photographers are scrambling to spin out their favorite images in the kaleidoscope of life. There is a reason why Klein's street photos can be recognized again from the dusty experience. His technique of expression can be said to be the most unique in the history of photography. It is a visual image under psychological illusion. The photographer is hypnotized by others, and the subject is hypnotized by the photographer. Everyone is sleepwalking and has complicated and unclear communication. Klein's street life is very aggressive, as if he wanted to create riots in the originally quiet crowd at any time. His expression was criticized by Bresson as "the whole thing is wrong." "Right" or "wrong" means nothing to Klein, because what he cares about is to completely break all the established photography laws and regulations. He is a shutter sniper with obvious intention and direct expression. He just pressed the shutter to keep the image. The camera became a weapon in his hand, and taking pictures for him was the act of shooting others with the trigger machine. Aim, shoot, touch! Touch! Touch! Sharpshooter Klein finally made it through. His subject "The Scene of Street Turbulence" is praised as "the revelation of images", which opens the original nature hidden in everyone's heart. Everyone seems to be alienated, unable to accept others or accepted by others. It seems that everyone has such depressed moments, and Klein makes everyone show it when facing the camera.
