André Kertész

André Kertész (1894–1985) was a Hungarian-born photographer whose pioneering work helped define the language of modern photography through his intuitive, humanistic approach and experimental use of composition and perspective. He is celebrated for his candid street photography, distortion series, and intimate documentation of everyday life in Budapest, Paris, and New York. His influence on photojournalism and art photography is immeasurable, having shaped the work of later masters such as Henri Cartier-Bresson and Robert Capa.
