Great Black and White Photographers, PART 2


Lee Friedlander was born in Aberdeen, Washington (July 14, 1934) and is currently 82 years old. He studied for two years at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena before moving to New York at the age of 36. He mainly worked for Atlantic Records, shooting pictures of the company's musicians. As a side job, he worked as a freelance photographer for magazines like Collier's, Esquire, McCall's, and Sports Illustrated. Lee mainly photographed New York's busy streets and social scene. His self-portraits, which he began taking in the 1960's, are his most widely renowned pictures. Friedlander has published countless books (more than 50) displaying his photography. Some of his most recent ones are The Nudes: A Second Look, Mannequin, In the Picture: Self-portraits, America by Car, and Witness Number 6.
