Vivian Maier
She was a very private person, She didn't always like other peoples company. But when she takes her photographs it looks like a celebration of peoples lives. Her subjects are often caught looking straight at the camera looking like they are making eye contact. But Vivian used a Rolleiflex which is a box shaped camera you have to look down into the view finder. So she still avoided people in that sense. After all her negatives were found in a house for auction. They found out that she use to be a nanny for well to do family's. and these were contacted the children now adults remembered her and her camera and how she was a private person. It is thought that she never showed her photos to anyone only a few children. When she was out taking photos she had no time for people and their airs and graces. Her photos are up there with the greats of her time.
