Gordon Parks was an American photographer that dealt with issues of racism, bigotry and discrimination. He started his photography career in Washington D.C where these issues became very apparent to him. Parks was a trainee under Roy Stryker, an American economist, government official and photographer.
Gordon Parks is well known for his 1942 photograph, 'American Gothic in Washington D.C' - a parody of Grant Wood's painting 'American Gothic', 1930.
Here are some of my favourite pieces by Parks:
