Vivian Maier
Vivian Maier, an American street photographer, primarily shot in New York City and Chicago. Vivian loved capturing and documenting the world she lived in. She loved capturing short moments of time in urban areas where she lived. Originally, she captured all her photos in black and white but later on she decided to change this and began shooting in colour. She enjoyed this as it seemed to make her work more abstract. She often took self-portraits of herself through a window, mirror, or any reflective surface. With this, her pictures were abstract and irregular. Her work later on became more centred towards graffiti and objects.
