Walker Evans

Walker Evans was an American photographer and photojournalist. These photographs are some of his formalism photographs, he has captured images of different tools against a white background. This allows the object to be the main focal point and be seen clearly. There are no shapes made out of any lights in these photographs as it is focussed on the whole area.

His photos are very monochromatic since it’s mostly black, white and grey ones with a couple of them having more yellow/orange tones.
