Saul Leiter

[Elines]

As with so many famous photographers, I’d never heard of him.

But apparently:

“His understanding of color, black and white, and composition was sublime.

It is also photography full of emotions and simple human compassion.

Visit the website of the Saul Leiter Foundation to learn more about him and his work.”

There is an exhibition, until 2 June at Milton Keynes, of some of his work:

I have several books of his work

I'm planning to get to see that exhibition!

I went to the exhibition with my wife last week. From the small amount of his work shown I preferred his paintings and colour photos to the BW ones. The video of him that is on a loop is worth a watch I found his view of life/photography thought provoking - it has made me think a bit differently.

Although the exhibition is quite modest I am glad I went - my wife enjoyed it as well which is a bonus! Thanks for the heads up.

Shot this in IR when I came out of the exhibition, a bit of lens distortion - I might fix it, but probably won't.....
