Photographers Research

I really like the idea of  photographers"shooting at the hip" in busy places such as cities. Two photographers; Daido Moriyama and William Klein are being exhibited at the Tate at the moment that use this style of photography.

Daido Moriyama uses a small compact camera to take his images and later edits them to be black and white. He wanders around the city he lives in taking pictures of absolutely everything. All of his photography is down to chance as he doesnt know what the photograph will look like until he's took it.

William Klein uses the same style and presents his photographs in books. The majority of his photographs are taken in New York showing the less glamous side to it, than it is known for.
