Everybody Street Documentary & William Klein

I loved all the photographers work and how we actually get to see and hear them talk about their job in Cheryl Dunn's Everybody Street. I liked particularly how Joel Meyerowitz talked about interacting with moments where life becomes interesting, and how he actually manages to do just that, like the kiss, or the one of two people pointing to opposite sides. His framing and timing is just exquisite.

I love how they all are genuinely interested in life and how people do things and interact with one another. For me that I love New York, it was great watching the photos of these photographers who manage to capture the vibrant city. Their pictures are stunning, fun and intriguing. I think I had never seen New York being photographed like that actually. It was great.

I also learned about William Klein, an amazing American photographer.

His work impresses me a lot, specially the fact that he did both, photojournalism and fashion photography, and even though he didn’t liked this second one, I just think he did a remarkable job. His covers on Vogue and the composition of them are simply genius. I may actually dare to say that even though I also prefer street photography over fashion, I may like his fashion pictures even more.

This one for instance, I loved it. The way he plays with the lines, but it also looks makes it look natural. The models are not overposing and still they look amazing. He manages to combine the the setting onto the picture, it adds something to the model and the fashion. It complements it.

And this other one is awesome as well. He plays with the height of the models and the buildings, also with the reflections, and its worth noting how everything has its space. I think that happens in his street photography shots and its so remarkable and visually pleasing.
