#31 WILLIAM KLEIN | Get close, get personal

William Klein, one of the most influential street photographer. His works show the wildest and most vivid America.

I love his "don't give a shit" attitude. He used a wide-angle lens, and get close to people. Imagine how close you need to get to a person to take a picture like that. Just like how he get to the subject, his photographs also get straight into your heart. Though he also made great achievements on fashion photography, he only sees fashion photography as a contract, and a way of living. He's much more into street photography, which brings him more unexpected moments and surprise. Even for fashion photography, he prefers to go on to street, even using telescope lens, so that he can capture those who don't know what's really going on. He also did a lot of experiments with fashion photography, by using different lights, and mirrors.
