Saul Leiter

Saul Leiter was a photographer who worked in the fashion industry for many years, but in his studio, he was both a painter and a photographer. His exploration of colour photography began in 1948 so he was one of the early photographers to explore colour. I really enjoy the painterly quality of the images with his unique compositional style. A lot of his most interesting images are within his local neighbourhood, he feels most people lack the ability to see the beauty that surrounds them.
