Lee Friedlander is one of the most influential figures in American street and documentary photography, renowned for his distinctive exploration of the American "social landscape". His complex compositions, often incorporating reflections, signage, fragmented perspectives and layered visual elements, transformed seemingly ordinary scenes into intricate photographic studies. Alongside Diane Arbus and Garry Winogrand, he was featured in the landmark exhibition "New Documents" at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, in 1967, where he was also honored with a major retrospective in 2005.
