(the picture above is a photo of Lewis Hine) There are many photographers who use perspective, in fact, almost all photographers have perspective. Three examples of these photographers are:
1. LEWIS HINE: lived from 1874-1940. He was born in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. After his father died in an accident, he began working and saving money for college. Interestingly, he did not go to college for photography. He studied sociology at The University of Chicago, Columbia University, and New York University. He became a teacher in New York City at the Ethical Cultural School where he encouraged his students to use photography as an educational medium. Photography became his paying profession in 1907 or 1908. He began to photograph at Ellis island to satisfy his curiosity about people who struggled. He himself struggled, his father died when he was young, and he had to put himself through school. His work has been cited as the precursor to modernist and documentary photography. Most of his photographic projects focused on immigration, child labor, New York City, and the building of the empire state building. his earliest work was from Ellis island from 1905. He had many extensive projects that followed, including "Hull House", "American Red Cross In Europe", and "Men At Work"My sources: http://www.jgape.org/node/90

I really like his work and I think that he uses perspective in a positive way. I don't think that there is anything is his work that really "doesn't" work.

2. Another photographer who uses perspective in their photographs is Zoe Strauss.She was the first in her immediate family to graduate high school, she did not go on to college. She was given a camera for her thirtieth birthday in 2000, and started taking photographs almost immediately after. She pays particular attention to the overlooked, or perhaps purposely avoided details in life and takes photos of whatever may strike her interest at that particular moment. She received a seedling award for her work in 2002, a pew fellowship in 2005, and in 2006 her owrk was included in the Whitney Biennial; she also mounted a solo exhibition. The way that she uses perspective in her photographs is she looks at the economic struggles of other people and societies. this may be the reason why she chooses once a year to display her work under an I-95 underpass in the state of Philadelphia. She describes her own work as "an epic narrative about the beauty and struggle of everyday life". I think that she uses perspective very well in her work and uses it often. the way that she shows perspective is showing the different ways of life for people and that not every one is the same. She shows that not every one has it good and wants people to know that. Her example is of the lady with the black hair under my paragraph about Garry Winogrand.

3.Another photographer who uses perspective in their photographs is Garry Winogrand. He clearly uses perspective in his photos and shows why he uses it. The way that i think that he uses perspective in his photos is he shows people who live normal lives. He took ALOT of street photography. He took many photos of Marilyn Monroe and of street life in big cities in the early 20th century. He was born in New York, new york in 1928 and he passed away in Tijuana, mexico in 1984.At the time of his death there was discovered about 2,500 rolls of undeveloped film, 6,500 rolls of developed but not proofed exposures, and contact sheets made from about 3,000 rolls. He went to school at the City College Of New York and Columbia University. When he was there, he studied painting but after he was done with school, he became a photographer and did nothing else with painting.
