Photographer Alan Sculla commented: "Vivienne is the embodiment of a timeless moment: in that moment, it's just you, your camera obscura, and an open world full of infinite possibilities." Vivian, Mai Born in New York, USA, Er is a nanny who has worked in Chicago for 40 years. In 1953, after work, she began to pick up a camera to take pictures and create around the streets of New York. She took more than 100,000 photos in her lifetime, and her work was only exhibited in Chicago after her death in 2009, becoming a hotly debated figure in the photography circle. "She depicts the diverse and vibrant street life, she has a special ability to make strangers on the street accept, at least tolerate or ignore her presence, so that she can always capture the most natural movements and expressions of people ." Vivian. Meier is a prolific "street photography" artist who often sees the world through a Rollei camera, capturing thousands of vivid moments on the streets of Chicago, New York and other cities. For her, observation and recording are like explorations of various new possibilities in life; she keeps digging out various current emotions and touches in life as important nutrients in her life. She used a simple and straightforward lens to record the urban landscape of the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Her photos not only have all kinds of life, but also have interesting American features. As Bresson said, use the camera as an extension of your eyes, all expressions, dresses, and movements are not deliberate, like a ballet dancer Like a light shuttle in the crowd, when you observe a picture you want to capture, quickly press the shutter and walk away. A person who has never opened himself to the world, but has an incomparable love for the real world.
