Mastery of Photography

For the Mastery of photography assignment, I chose to write about the photographer minor white also known as just white. White was a photographer through the early and mid 1900s born in 1908 and dying in 1976. He lived in more northern areas of American being born in Minnesota which you can see in a lot of his photographs which I believe show a strong presence of the cold and winter ascetics. His photographs range a lot so its hard to classify them under one category. But I think the main type of photographs you can see are landscapes texture, and a lot of abstract photos. Something that is definitely hard to find is him photographing people though, probably about 80% having no people. Obviously being a photographer in his time, he only had black and white film. One of my favorite kinds of his pictures are his landscape pictures just capturing nature barely touched by humans almost like all he was doing was capturing a piece of nature no one else had seen and showing the world. But Another really good kind of picture by him is. his texture pictures especially for his time. I don’t understand how when he was in his era of photography his texture pictures were so perfect showing amazing detail and the perfect composition. But I really have to say again how the texture in his pictures is so accentuated which is hard to do even today with digital cameras.
