William Eggleston is one the pioneers of using color photography as art, especially at a time when it was not a norm. In fact, when his work was exhibited for the first in 1960 by curator John Szarkowski at The Museum of Modern Art, Ansel Adams condemned it.

One of the reasons was his use of the dye-transfer print, which was considered beneath any serious photographer at the time. But, since then, things have changed, and Eggleston's work still holds value. And now, a new photography exhibition will display his images as he had always printed, with a new set of dye-transfer prints. . thephoblographer.com
