Elliott Erwitt, born in Paris France in 1928, is a renowned advertising and documentary photographer. He is known for his black and white candid shots of ironic and absurd situations within everyday life. One of his series, appropriately named "Hand Pix," is a collection of black and white photographs focused solely on the human hand. Erwitt also has books, journalistic essays, illustrations, and advertisements that have been featured in publications all over the world. I was drawn to Erwitt's work because of his use of lightness, darkness, and shadows in his photographs. He captures his subjects in a striking way with his use of lighting.
