Robers Frank was born in November 1929 and is Jewish living in Switzerland. You could say he is renown for his American photography and film. His most known notable work is the 1958 photographic book called the americans. I find Robert Franks work quite interesting because i cant seem to put a style to his work and also in some of his photographs i cant seem to understand what it is he wants to photograph. To me i have a subject and photograph it but with Robert Frank his subject matter is hard to understand due to the composition and the way in the people and place he photographs.

This photograph above is in his book the americans and is bably one of the most iconic visual books on American life ever. This book inspired many photographs such as Francis Bacon and Robert Mapplethorpe.
in my opinion i really like the composition and the crop. i think it is great the way the flag is taking out the persons head in the window and to my this is what makes the photograph work well.
Below is more work of Robert frank.

This shot has a mood to it which i really like and think as a photographer it is hard to get a feeling and a mood in a shot. i like the contrast and how there is more back ground as the subject matter but yet the ladie is the centre of attention.
