Stieglitz (1864-1946)

My tutor has suggest that I look at Stieglitz photographs in relation to his use of light at  different times of the day.

Albert Stieglitz was a very significant American photographer who was a pioneer over his fifty year career in making phtography an art form.  He was"determined to prove photogrpahy was a medium capable of artistic expression as painting or sculpture"

He witnessed New York change from a city with cobblestones to a modern metropolis with skyscrapers.  His most famous photogrphs were the Terminal, the Steerage and the O'Keefe portraits.
