Week 2: Show and Tell #2 - Garry Winogrand Public Relations

By Nathan Bieneman

Garry Winogrand is among the most lauded and acclaimed photographers in history, generally listed as one of the most influential street photographers of all time. His third of four books, Public Relations is a great deal more focused than much of his other work. Public Relations deals specifically with the relationships between the American people, American culture, and the media. Public Relations documents the societal paradigm shift which occurred during the 50s and 60s with the popularization of television and the new dynamics between the media, those who do the recording, and their subjects.
