Saul Leiter

Saul Leiter is another street photographer that I realy like. He was working in New York in the 1950's. He earned his money as a fashion photographer, but was never realy famous. A lot of his street photography went undeveloped for years because he didnt think much of it. He was intrested in a lot of New York painters at the time like Mark Rothko.


What is good about his work is the compsition, the use of focus, the use of texture and reflection, signs and the weather, like rain and condensation. The images are never as abstract as the painters he admired.
