André Kertész


André Kertész (2 July 1894 – 28 September 1985) was a Hungarian-born photographer known for his groundbreaking contributions to photographic composition and the development of the the photo essay. In the early years of his lengthy career, his then-unorthodox camera angles, general bad-assery and his unwillingness to compromise his personal photographic style prevented him from gaining the recognition that he deserved for his contribution to photography. Because people, my darlings, are idiots.
