Arnold Newman is very famous for his innovation in photography. Newman was the first photographer to use the concept of environmental portraiture, which is placing someone in an a place that represents his or her profession or personality. Newman is also very well-known for taking portraits of celebrities and known politicians, such as Marilyn Monroe and Ronald Raegan. What I found intersting about Newman is his photography of music related things. Since I have constantly been studying photographers, I have noticed that hardly any other photographers have photographed anything to do with music. When looking up Newman's work, however, I noticed that his pictures of violins and a piano. Music really resonates me so I was happy to use my passion for it to respond to Newman's photograph of a deconstructed violin. All in all, Newman was a rather innovative photographer because of his work with interesting ideas and subjects.
