Joel Sternfeld
I Think Sternfeld shoots in thiese locations because i would argue that he likes to go beyond the human eye. What i mean by that is that he tends to see potential photographs that not many people tend to see. I think he sees the photos before he's even taken it. Most of his photos are perfectly composed and it always seems like he has the perfect photo. However a few of his photos are more Life like. They show the reality of peoples everyday lives. For example, the picture below shows a man living his daily life with everything he owns in a shopping trolley. The picture could often be seen as a sad picture but the harsh reality is that there is people who live like this who are homeless and haven't got a penny to their name.
This work could influence me to see beyond the perfect world as it is sometimes described as. To photograph things that other people may not pick up.
