Garry Winogrand was an influential American photographer known for his candid street photography. Born in 1928, he captured everyday life in urban settings, particularly in New York City. His work often highlighted the spontaneity and chaos of modern life, showcasing the interactions of people in public spaces. Winogrand's unique style involved using a wide-angle lens and shooting from the hip, which allowed him to capture moments without the subjects being aware. He produced thousands of images, and his work has been exhibited in major museums, including the Museum of Modern Art and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
