Eggleston, an American photographer who is largely credited with the recognition for color photography as a legitimate form to be exhibited in the art galleries. His later work usually features ordinary subject such as old tyres, machines, discarded air-conditioners, vending machines, Coca-Cola bottles, road signs and etc.
The beauty of Eggleston's approach is that he photographs democratically. He would treat every objects as equal. Street photographers usually tend to look for significant characters, interesting gestures and special moments in life as the subject. However, Eggleston is on the opposite. He would frame very ordinary situations and create powerful visual impact out of almost nothing.
