Geoff Winningham

Proposal
My famous photographer is Geoff Winningham. I chose Geoff as a photographer because the gallery attracted my attention. He was also known as a filmmaker, and a journalist. His work of photography is different to other photographers. His photography dealt with all characteristics of Texas and most of them were taken in the 1970’s. This includes rodeo, high school football games, wrestling, livestock show and and majority of sports. I always wanted to shoot rolls about sports, and events. The majority of his photography was all black and white and using the 35 mm camera. Some of his printing styles were high in contrast and some of them low in contrast. Geoff Winningham’s work has a lot of meaning into it. I liked his way how he used his ideas, and his creativity to capture all of his images. By looking at all of his galleries on the Internet, I learned about Geoff Winningham.
My photography work will be about events in the Houston area. This work relates to Geoff Winningham’s photography work, but using my creativity and ideas to create this type of work.
