Photography

Photography has been an artistic way of documenting life since the 1800s. Photographers are artists who capture images in time and use them to tell a story. Styles of photography range from documentary to fashion to casual snapshots. Famous photographers include Walker Evans, who specialized in documentary photographs, Dorothea Lange who was a photojournalist dedicated to documenting the Great Depression, and Annie Leibovitz who creates iconic celebrity portraits. Sophisticated digital technology and advanced printing techniques mean photographs may be printed onto archival paper or canvas and still have the same incredible detail as the original. This makes decorating with photography easy.
