Research Presentation Proposal_Jason Ruoff

The Americans - Robert Frank

New York City - Stephen Shore






The two artiest I decided to focus on for my research project are Robert Frank and Stephen Shore. Both work in similar styles and with similar subject matter; they both focus on the "un-seen lives of American people." However, what Shore did that was much different then medium or small format shooters like Frank, was shoot street photography with a 8/10 view camera. He also went against f64 group by sometimes shooting in color. Shore did this because he believed that photographers should "go against that typical boundaries of photography."

Both artists used different photographic mediums and techniques but both focused on breaking away from the "photographic tendencies."
