#8 - Lee Friedlander

Lee Friedlander, born in 1934, began photographing the American social landscape in 1948. With an ability to organize a vast amount of visual information in dynamic compositions, Friedlander has made humorous and poignant images among the chaos of city life, dense landscape and countless other subjects. 

His photographs bring to the surface the juxtapositions of everyday life that comprise our modern world. Beyond the vigorous outward eye he turns to the world around him, Friedlander is also recognized for an investigation of self.

Friedlander's style focused on the "social landscape". His art used detached images of urban life, store-front reflections, structures framed by fences, and posters and signs all combining to capture the look of modern life.






His self portrait is so special that he insert himself into his photos - his shadow.



 He likes taking photo in another perspective that other people wouldn't do.  He incorporate more content in his photos this is what make his photos cool and interesting.
