Published four books of photographs Women are Beautiful (1975) a random collection of

to photograph freely and quickly When he died in 1984 he left more than 2,500 rolls of
undeveloped film and over 300,000 undeveloped images
Garry Winogrand
Garry Winogrand appealed to me because the majority of his photographs were candid, natural photos
Winogrand continues to appeal to audiences because he succeeds in capturing everyday American life during the 1960s
Winogrand’s work might be used in contemporary media to show what everyday life was like in the mid 1900s
