Snapshot aesthetic


A subgenre of fine art photography that emphasizes ordinary life as its subject matter and employs an appearance that is between between staged and candid snapshots. William Eggleston (born in 1939), Nan Goldin (born in 1953), and Wolfgang Tillmans are all examples of photographers who have used this technique (born 1968). In the 1990s, fashion photography was one of the most common uses for it.
