Alfred Stieglitz (1864-1946) was an American photographer who greatly contributed to making photography an acceptable art form. Stieglitz quit his job to focus on publishing and displaying his work as well as the work of the others. Stieglitz also created Camera Work, a photographic journal containing work form some of the most prominent photographers around the world.
The photograph above has a faint texture and appears to be toned, giving it the qualities of a painting. The composition of this photo is truly unique; it is tall, thin in width, and has plenty of negative space. This composition allows the tree, something that is also tall and thin, to be the focus of the photo. This photo also contains a person and what appears to be horses in the background. However, these other subjects are not distracting, as they are very faint.
