cant you really notice how he carefully framed his shots? It's not like today people hold the shutter release button in continuous and hope they capture the moment.

His compositions are literally perfect, the only photographer who's compositions even come close I think are joel meyerowitz' and Garry Winogrand

I wouldn’t say he’s the best but he’s in that highest tier of photographers for sure. Very good at framing crowds and people in general, that’s by far his best skill

Do you really think a master would crop every single image to 1:1? He uses a Rolleiflex and a Nikon F

I had no idea who he was and happened to be in an art museum where a bunch of his work was posted. The shots look glorious live.

Since he clearly had only a narrow window of time to get his shot in some of them would have benefitted from a zoom lens or a little cropping.

considering the fact that this style is everywhere on ig after 70 years, his influence is everywhere. and now i know from where all these color contemporary photogs took their inspiration from.

I enjoy his shots, but this one rubs me the wrong way. It feels forced and unnatural. Still like it, nonetheless.

The importance of his photography is his subject matter and what it portrays, not the technical stuff like color or composition (although the composition matters for sure).
