This photograph is done by Nan Goldin from her Ballad of Sexuality series. Nan Goldin is one of the most prominent snapshot photographers. She is the person who took the snapshot and made it remarkable. Nan Goldin doesn't worry about the colors or cropping but just sees special moments, good and bad and captures the moment. This photograph is of her dear friends who are gay and both have Aids, later on in the series she photographs the death of both of them. This portrait is very compelling because anyone who has a heart will feel for this couple and understand what is happening. This is what makes her work strong, her honesty to the photographs.
This snapshot photograph is done by Alfred Eisenstaedt. This was taken in Times Square on V-J Day.
Then there is the other famous snapshot photographer, Larry Clark. He is a photographer and film maker who focuses his work on teenage angst and lust. His work is very raw from the beginning with Tulsa to Ken Park. His work has raised a lot of controversy over the years and some of his movies are even banned in America. This doesn't stop Larry Clark from showing the truth of what many teenagers go through dealing with sex, drugs and rock n roll. This photograph was taken from his Teenage Lust series. He is definitely someone who pushed the envelope to another level.
Then there is the infamous Terry Richardson who is today's most famous snapshot photographer. He is the son of Bob Richardson who was also a prominent fashion photographer but Terry took his own style to another level. He mainly uses a Yashica point and shoot and photographs models, celebrities and himself in ways that most wouldn't dare. He has a love for women and portrays this in his photographs in a semi controversial way mattering who is viewing the photographs. He has done many advertisements for Tom Ford, Sisley and Diesel. He is one photographer that many won't forget.
