The Photographer That No One Should Copy

I bought The Unseen Saul Leiter during my yearly vacation last year after hanging out in Dashwood Books and hearing another photographer speak so enthusiastically about the photographer. I've known about Saul for years, but he wasn't one that I spent time studying in college. Photographer Saul Leiter is quite a fascinating one. Lots of his most famous work came out at a time when color was something still relatively new and exciting. If it weren't for him, photographers like William Eggleston probably wouldn't have been able to make their own legacy as easily. As a man who is usually captivated by photography books more so than looking at the images online, this experience was akin to something deeply uncomfortable. And it took me a little while to realize why.
