Influences

Photographers are influenced by other photographers, whether they realize it or not. Some of the greatest photographers were influenced by earlier photographers. For example, both Henri Cartier-Bresson and Richard Avedon site Martin Munkacsi as an important influence.

Who was Cartier-Bresso?
Who was Richard Avedon?
Who was Munkacsi?

How were the first two legends influenced by the same person?

Write an essay that discusses each photographer. You may include links to their work, but only include photographs if you have permission. You may talk with your group members, but you should only share research. (I expect something close to a five paragraph essay.)

When you are finished, you may work on other assignments from this class.
