still gathering research for my essay and found William Eggleston as a great source. Eggleston started his photographic career using traditional black and white film. He later began to experiment with colour and built his reputation as a pioneer of colour photography. His images tend to be of mundane, everyday and often trivial subjects, literally photographing the world around him. To Eggleston, everything is equally as important; every detail deserves attention. This new way of looking inspired a new generation of photographers. Since the 1960s and 70s, photojournalism and documentary photography has found more of a market in the art world in art galleries and photo books.
