Saul Leiter

Saul Leiter (1923-2013) was an American photographer who did many kinds of work, including fashion, but is now most famous for the pictures he took on the street in New York and Paris.

In the 1940s through the 1960s he was considered a leader of the "New York school" of photography. Back then he mostly published black and white work. But he also shot thousands of color slides, and in the 90s he began to pull out his old slide boxes and see what was there that might suit contemporary tastes.

He selected several dozen and made prints from them, and at least on the internet these are now his most famous works.

I find them stunning.
