I really don't like to take photos, probably because I feel I have not that special instinct to capture an image. Nevertheless, I like so much to collect and searching by the internet pictures related with famous photographers, one of them is Robert Frank, he took beautiful photos with also the crudeness of the World War II. Furthermore, my favourite photo is of him, its name is 'Sick of goodbyes', from 'The Americans' collection.
That black-and-white photograph was taken in 1978. It shows mirrors which is written probably with a paint, lipstick or blood (who knows). The picture is dirty, unripe, terrible and ironic. Words in the mirrors: Sick Of Goodbyes, dripping down the image, the liquid falling across the cold material, and the little doll seems to be the soul of the photographer.
I searching by the web some references about the context in which this photo was taken, and I founded a site where it explains how terrible moment was crossing Frank: his daughter was killed in a plane crash and his son was diagnosed with schizophrenia. I think his photos show his feelings, and because of it I like his way of doing photography.
That's all. I guess :)

(beautiful photos with also the crudeness)You could say: ‘beautiful photos which also show/reflect the crudeness of...’ or ‘photos wich show the beauty as well as the crudeness of...’
(my favourite photo is of him): of all his photos my favourite is.../my favourite photo of all the ones taken by him
(mirrors which is written) What’s wrong with the verb ‘be’?
