What makes great photography

Bricklayer, August Sander 1928

Best of 2011: Visual Art

My Reading
- This image is part of a series shooing working people at their trade. The bricklayer carries his load of bricks with seeming ease and with the most basic of equipment. He uses one hand and a rag to balance his hod, keeping the other hand free for climbing. The subject faces the camera with a confident air, his eyes challenging the viewer not to judge his job as lowly.

Val Williams - From people of the 1020's. Photographer aware of importance pose composition and lighting. An important example of descriptive portraiture.



Delivering Coal, Horace Nicholls



Couldn't resist the Lego version....
