Walker Evans is known for his photographs of the everyday American life. Also he is known for the way his photographs convey everyones daily lifestyle. From the looks of his photogrpahs it looks like he tries to put emphasis on the american life by situating his subjects in the middle of his picture which truly conveys his ideaoly of how americans live their lives. He also takes different pictures in different locations to make sure that the people who see his pictures are aware of where the picture is being taken since the pictures have a clear indication wether it be a name of a restaurant or a familiarized setting. It looks as though all of his pictures are black and white with most of them being taken horizontally. His idea of a photograph would be to capture the idea of an american family.
Lee Friedlander:
lee friedlander would be considered to be more of a scenic type of photographer due to the fact that he enjoys taking pictures of places he has been. For example he enjoys to take pictures while he's in a car and of different places. Most of his pictures are in black and white and taken horizontally with the subject of his opicture being more to the left or more to the right however it seems as though it is never centered. it seems as though most of his ideas came from taking pictures of signs or landscapes as well as family households.
