Minor Martin White (July 9, 1908 – June 24, 1976) was an American Photographer theoretician, critic and educator. He combined an intense interest in how people viewed and understood photographs with a personal vision that was guided by a variety of spiritual and intellectual philosophies. White made thousands of black-and-white and color photographs of landscapes, people and abstract subject matter, created with both technical mastery and a strong visual sense of light and shadow.
My favorite series from Minor White is his Frost on Window project. I enjoy the abstraction and the detail that is in many of his shots. Being able to see the detail in the flakes of ice is very nice and seeing how it creates all these other shapes. Also, he has very good use of light and shadows to create an even more interesting frame.
