So this guy is most known for his "hip" photography. Obviously very photojournalistic and I love that. Not that we are supposed to say if we like it or not but what I will say is that when going through his images that made me feel a sense of vulnerability. How the subjects are so raw but very composed in his frame.
Alot of his images are very controversial. That takes guts but it's real and that's what I feel moves me the most looking through his work.
This one for instance...predominantly one of the most popular images.
Then you have the realistic sense with this next one.
I can't imagine what these people were thinking as they drove by and Winogrand shot the broke nose. It makes me laugh but at the same time I choose to look at his technique with the slower shutter & pan. Awesome!

So I remember looking at this guy a month back, LOL. I really do go and look at these photographers because I think it's important to see other work too. I just don't have alot of time and I know that sounds cliche.
Anyway so Ralph....wow. So the masks creep me out and then the masks on kids even more so. I think he means to envoke the sort of creepy sense in the images. I, myself, have actually wanted to sort of take the "kids" images that I do to another level. Not this way but something different that is going to set me apart.
I feel like the images are conceptual; very well thought out.
This image reminds me of my kids....just out in random playing with masks. Kinda of a funny side of his images.
