Iconic Photo Critic



Clarence H. White (American, 1871-1925)
Morning,1908
His modernistic art photography became a national scene in the late 1800's. He was one of the most influential photography teachers, who taught other famous photographers. He opened up a school in 1914 and had been a photographing for over two decades before opening the school.

This photo interests me because it makes you wonder why she is out there, what she is doing, and I like the scene in general. It is fogging giving a mood of mystery. I like the contrast of the black and white.

With all the advances in technology during this time, the photo is simple and of nature. Although the women in the photo is not centered, she is still the focal point in the work because of her white dress. The photo is in the morning to represent the new era in America.
