William Eggleston

William Eggleston received his first camera at the age of 18 and started taking photographs of mostly typical american scenes. He used mostly small format cameras and a variety of black and white and colour film. The image of the tricycle parked on the road of a seemingly american suburb is one of the most famous images created by William Eggleston. The viewer's eyes are drwn into the image by the low point of view and bright, dull sky and are then directed towards the backround, where a typical American suburb road can be seen.
He has created a variety of cleverly focused and composed images and has been well known for his technical competence.
