Garry Winogrand
American · b. 1928

Winogrand shared Friedlander's commitment to black and white street photography that captured the chaotic energy and visual complexity of postwar American urban and suburban life. His gelatin silver prints similarly document everyday American scenes with a restless, layered compositional approach.

Robert Frank
Swiss American · b. 1924

Frank's landmark black and white documentation of the American landscape and its urban environments shares the same observational candor and social awareness found in Friedlander's New Mexico street work. Both photographers used gelatin silver prints to reveal the psychological undercurrents of ordinary American spaces.

Joel Meyerowitz
American · b. 1938

Meyerowitz emerged from the same New York street photography tradition as Friedlander and similarly focused on American urban environments with a keen eye for compositional tension and the overlooked details of everyday public life. His documentary approach to the American landscape and streetscape closely parallels the spirit of this Albuquerque photograph.
