The photographer Paul Strand was influenced by different things from the era in which he lived. One thing that influenced him was his social consciousness, which resulted in photographs involving art and politics. Also, he was inspired by modernist photographers like Alfred Stieglitz, who gave him new ideas after viewing one of his galleries in New York. In the 1950s, Paul moved to Europe, where he developed a new passion. He was very inspired by the impoverished communities there, and took pictures of them to show to the world. Then, he traveled to Africa to take pictures of the people thus promoting social change.
