Places Research. Walker Evans

Walker Evans (1903 - 1975)

Walker Evans is an American Photographer and is best know for documenting depression and Farm Security Administration. Walker Evans used a large-format, 8x10-inch camera. Walker Evans quoted  his goal as a photographer was to make pictures that are "literate, authoritative, transcendent" I found this information on wikipedia.

What i like about Walker Evans work is that the photographs all look flat and don't look 3d at all, like the shoeshine stand photograph and the Allie Mae Burroughs photograph.
