He was among the first photographers to pose subjects against a simple grey or white backdrop and used this simplicity more effectively than other photographers. Some subjects photographed with this technique included Martha Graham, Marcel Duchamp, Pablo Picasso, Georgia O'Keeffe, and Marlene Dietrich. I enjoy a good backdrop but the look seems a little dated...or not...many photographers still use a basic black or grey backdrop and nothing else to do portraits.
