I remember the photo but not the name of the photographer

Photo of a man on the edge of frame with rain clouds or street at the background?

There is also a YouTube video in which interviewer specifically ask why all your subjects are at the edge of the frame.

Anyone know that famous photographer?

This thread is not a riddle, rather try to get the name of the great master.

 

[Paul Howell]

There are many painting, music, news stories that I remember but not the name of the artist, the composer, or journalist.

I expect that this thread was started in error by @baachitraka , and I'd be happy to delete it if the OP asks, but I would observe that the same sometimes applies for me to people I encounter.
There is this one neighbour whose wife's name escapes me every single time!
I admit I've always been terrible with names - numbers I tend to remember reliably.

Yikes...Film? Color or black and white?

 

[baachitraka]

It's black white photo...it is driving me nuts.

I presume he is European but I could neither get his name nor the photo in the internet

 

[MattKing]

Try including a rough sketch of what you see in your mind.

This one fits the description, but I wouldn't say positioning the subject at the edge was a trait of HCB's.

Got it and it is Bill Brandt.

A group, rather than an individual, and certainly no sign of rain, but even then I immediately thought of this U2 album cover:

the man in the photo is the painter Francis Bacon

 

[snusmumriken]

Mmm, that's rather interesting. It really was quite characteristic of his framing: see here.

 

[Mark J]

Wow, thanks for that link. I'd never thought to search for a proper collection of his work. Superb.

 

[Ballinderry-Michael]

Got it and it is Bill Brand.

Brandt, not Brand.

 

[baachitraka]

Brandt, not Brand.

Thank you
