Alfred Stieglitz (1864 – 1946) was an American photographer and promoter of photography as art. In early history of photography he represents pictorialist movement. There is no standard definition of the term, but but in general it refers to a style in which the photographer has somehow manipulated what would otherwise be a straightforward photograph as a means of "creating" an image rather than simply recording it.
