Todd Webb (Photographer)

Todd Webb (1905–2000) was an American photographer notable for documenting everyday life and architecture in cities such as New York, Paris as well as from the American west. The photography of Todd Webb has been compared with Harry Callahan, Berenice Abbott, Walker Evans, and the French photographer Eugene Atget. He traveled extensively during his long life and had important friendships with artists such as Georgia O'Keeffe, Ansel Adams and Harry Callahan. He photographed famous people including Dorothea Lange. His life was like his photos in the sense of being seemingly simple, straightforward, but revealing complexity and depth upon a closer examination.
