Edward Curtis

Edward Curtis is best known for photographing American West and Native American people.
This first photo is very stereotypical, which caught my eye. It is very pretty though, i feel like it would be a painting because finding an image like this must be so beautiful. I wonder if he had the indian bring the horse there and posed them like this. If not, he is crazy lucky to catch this. The second photo with the men on the boat is really nice. It's got that killer diagonal like that photographer strives for, as do our minds. Hes his the three like rule with the back tip of the boat, great straight line of the water also. Photo is just amazing. The boats packed, but the simple back round is balanced. The third photo with the horseback riders riding away was also an eye catcher. The things draping over their head create an amazing match of the shapes of the mountains behind them.
