He is credited with developing the zone system, a way of considering metering and of calibrating a B&W photographic setup to produce predictable results.
- Robert Mapplethorpe was one of the best-known and most controversial photographers of the 20th century. His studies of male and female nudes and various sexual images often resulted in his work being banned from venues. He once said regarding this, "I donıt like that particular word shocking.ı Iım looking for the unexpected. Iım looking for things Iıve never seen beforeI was in a position to take those pictures. I felt an obligation to do them." See also Monash's essay.
