Masters of Black and White Photography.



 

Edward Weston (March 24, 1886 - January 1, 1958) was an American photographer he received his first camera for his sixteenth birthday. Kodak Bull's-Eye and his photographs were already being exhibited at the Chicago Art Institute merely a year later, in 1903. Weston worked mainly with nudes and still life and landscape subjects.





Walker Evans (November 3, 1903 – April 10, 1975) was an American photographer best known for his work for the Farm Security Administration documenting the effects of the Great Depression.
In some ways Evans is perhaps the first and greatest of those photographers of the American social landscape.





William Eugene Smith (1918-1978) was an American photojournalist known for his refusal to compromise professional standards and his brutally vivid World War II photographs.
Smith began his career by taking pictures for two local newspapers Eagle and the Beacon.
