MODERNIST PHOTOGRAPHY

MODERNIST PHOTOGRAPHY

William Klen is a social documentary photographer, started out in New York, working with vogue, he did work in Paris and milan also. “William Klein is a photographer and filmmaker noted to for his ironic approach to both media and his extensive use of unusual photographic techniques in the context of photojournalism and fashion photography”

He uses his photography to so society at its better and worse, he's showing the reality and doesn't try to mask anything away. He's work is mostly in black and white, a mixture of violent looking ones and glamour beauty. 

Explore modern urban life in New York and Tokyo through the photographs of William Klein and Daido Moriyama. This is the first exhibition to look at the relationship between the work of influential photographer and filmmaker Klein, and that of Moriyama, the most celebrated photographer to emerge from the Japanese Provoke movement of the 1960s.

I do like his work. Through I think he edits his images too much and, I wished he mad more images in colour, his images do make you stop and think, they attracts the eye and I think he shows society very well although not in the uk .
