Finding Vivian Maier


Vivian Maier was an American amateur street photographer, who was born in New York City but grew up in France. 

During the forty years that Vivian worked as a nanny, she took about 100,000 photographs, primarily of people and cityscapes in Chicago, although she traveled and photographed worldwide.

Here are some amazing pictures by Vivian Maier:




Her photographs remained unknown and mostly undeveloped until they were discovered by a local Chicago historian and collector, John Maloof, in 2007.




Her work has been exhibited many countries all over the world, such as US, England, Germany, Denmark, and Norway, and have appeared in newspapers and magazines in the US, England, Germany, Italy, France and other countries.




The guy that found her work, is doing a documentary about Vivian's life, since it's not done yet, watch the trailer down below.
