William Eggleston is a photographer that is known for his vibrant colours in his photos. He uses a film camera to capture the pastel and also contrasting colours of the 70s and 80s. William Eggleston photographs and documents forgotten items and things that we often overlook. First photographing in black-and-white, Eggleston began experimenting with color in 1965 and 1966 after being introduced to the medium by William Christenberry.
William Eggleston was a unique and inspirational photographer as he stepped out of the comfort zone of photographers during his time. They would all use black and white film but William Eggleston shot in colour. Perfectly encapsulating the beauty and the vibrancy of the 70s and 80s. The colour palate is extensive and is amazing.
He inspires me to see this mundane world through different lens.
