Week 9 (Pop Art)

William Eggleston

Background:
William Eggleston (born July 27, 1939) is an American photographer. He is widely credited with increasing recognition for color photography as a legitimate artistic medium to display in art galleries. Eggleston's early photographic efforts were inspired by the work of Swiss-born photographer Robert Frank and by French photographer Henri Cartier Bresson's book, The Decisive Moment. 
Forst photographing in black and white, Eggleston began experimenting with color in 1965 and 1966 after being introduces to the medium by William Christenberry. Color transparency film became his dominant medium in the later 1960s.

Reflection:
William Eggleston is a person who used "POP ART" style in his photographs. He plays with the tone of the colors. He has been produced many books, films, portfolios and monographs. When I see his photographs, I feel like back to past when the pop art is very popular. Where all colors just used solid colors which makes contrast colors between each other. I like his photographs colors and how he just took some simple thing but can make it interesting
