Alfred Stieglitz

Alfred Stieglitz was born on January 1st, 1864 in Hoboken, New Jersey. He died at the age of 82 on July 19th, 1946 in New York City, New York. He was a photographer and a modern art promoter. He married a painter called Georgia O'Keefe. In around 1891, Alfred's father helped him buy out a small photography business called the Photochrome Engraving Company. The company wasn't doing very well, but Alfred made friends with The American Amateur Photographer magazine and began writing regularly for it. By the time he died, Alfred Stieglitz accomplished many great things.

Here are three of his photos:

I like this photo for many reasons. I like the fact that basically all you can see is a black background and then her (Georgia O'Keefe) hands. I also like that it's a very beautiful pain but what she's doing with her hands looks like it could hurt, so it's like a "pain behind beauty" kind of picture.

I like how Alfred Stieglitz used the light in this picture. It's a lot brighter than most of pictures and I think that is makes this specific photo very unique. 

I don't really like this picture because it's kind of blurry and dark. I don't like how smokey/smoggy the scene is.
