#4: women are beautiful by garry winogrand
Winogrand [the photographer and author of the book] explained why he chose to photograph these particular women: “I respond to their energies, how they stand and move their bodies and faces. In the end, the photographs are descriptions of poses or attitudes that give an idea, a hint, of their energies.” He goes on to say: “I don’t know if all the women in the photographs are beautiful, but I do know that the women are beautiful in the photographs.”
