Berenice Abbott
"Photography helps people to see." - Berenice Abbott
To me this quote tells me that a photo helps people in many different ways , a picture is not just a piece of paper with an image on it. A picture has a lot of meanings it can be memories , adventures and vacations . It helps the world see things from a different view, and a different perspective.
The reason why her pictures are best known is for the powerful black-and-white photographs of New York City in the 1930's. In these pictures, she used the tools of modernist photographic style, dynamically framed compositions, flattened pictorial space, high angles, and great detail -- to capture the enormous energy and variety of the city.
This Picture was her most black and white picture where she captured all new york city in black and white .
