Vast Landscapes with Tiny People
Born: October 22, 1912
Died: March 15, 1999
American Photographer.
Vast landscapes w/ small people.
Location portraits.
Considered to be one of the most influential photographers of the twentieth century.
Helped to bring photography into the mainstream of the art world.
He was one of the few photographers who worked as well in color as he did in black and white.
Like Ansel Adams, Callahan began using a huge view camera loaded with 8-by10 inch negatives that he could print by laying them directly on photosensitive paper and exposing them to light.
He was totally self-motivated, extremely curious about technique, and continually willing to try new approaches
. He worked with extreme contrast, collage, multiple and time exposures, camera motion, and unique lighting.
