If you saw him, youd never think there was anything remarkable about him. And yet every member of New Yorks wealthy high society wanted nothing more than to pose for this man. The ordinary-looking man was one of the most important American photographers of the last 50 years-Bill Cunningham.Cunninghams fashion beliefs Through his fascination with what people were wearing, and not who they were, he opened the doors of fashion to everyone-fashion as he saw it belonged to the people, not just to high society and big brands. Cunningham always used simple, relatively cheap cameras (not expensive, technologically-advanced equipment.) and took all his pictures on the streets of New York, not in a studio. He found inspiration where others could not, in simple, everyday scenes. These things were real, and it was within their reality that Cunningham saw both beauty and potential.Cunninghams devotion to photography Cunningham would go out onto the streets of New York each and every day, regardless of the weather. He would even stay outside in a storm, not coming back until he knew he had the right photos. He hardly ever took a day off and not once stayed home sick. This devotion and hard work is what we see reflected within his photos. This is what makes them so special.Cunninghams life philosophy Cunninghams approach to life was uncomplicated. He lived in a small apartment with a shared washroom. A simple restaurant was where usually had the same meal of sausages, eggs and coffee. Cunningham never accepted the benefits offered to him for being a fashion photographer. He valued integrity and would not be bought by anyone, no matter how many free clothes or flights to faraway destinations he was offered. And if he went to a celebrity party, he was there to work rather than have fun.“Moneys the cheapest things, freedom is the most expensive.” The lack of self-interest and promotion kept him focused on his craft, enabling him to capture New Yorks unique street style.Cunninghams passion for photography His passion for photography lasted throughout his life until his last illness and death. Nothing ever stopped him from getting the photo he wanted. His hard work made him more than a photographer-he was a “cultural anthropologist”, who we can thank for recording the life of a whole city and its people over half a century.
