First of all: Thank you, Barnaby Britton, for reviewing photographer's work as well as manufacturer's work. But considering a number of 2560 comments for a retro-styled 'New Beetle' in it's reincarnation as a DSLR - compared to these here now 23 comments in two years, it's quite disillusioning. Wow. This is probably the most perfect photography book I've ever seen. The selection of Leiter's photos, the superb printing by legendary German publisher Steidl, the binding, even the scent of the paper... It's the pinnacle of a great photography book.

Lessons We Can Learn from Street Photographer Saul Leiter.” EyeEm , www.eyeem.com/blog/10-lessons-we-can-learn-from-street-photographer-saul-leiter. Mr. Leiter (pronounced LIGHT-er), under some protest, came to renewed attention in recent years. In 2005 his early color photography was the subject of a well-received exhibition at the Howard Greenberg Gallery in Manhattan; in 2006 an illustrated book, “Saul Leiter: Early Color,” with a foreword by the art historian Martin Harrison, helped make it even more widely known.Leiter was born in 1923 in Pittsburgh to a Jewish family in which the men found their calling in the rabbinate. His father, a theological scholar and “a light in the diaspora,” as Leiter put it in the 2013 documentary In No Great Hurry: 13 Lessons in Life with Saul Leiter, was a leader in the city’s Orthodox Jewish community. Leiter was meant to continue that lineage, but he left his Cleveland seminary at age 23 and took a bus to New York City to begin his career in art. I have enjoy some of Saul Leiter's work and this is the second time I have taken a stab at this book. For me, I enjoyed playing with reflections like Leiter did as a tool for abstraction. For example, I found a CD in the car I was in and played with that in the reflection of the car window. I was able to capture the CD in the window, which I thought created an abstract theme because it was unclear where the circle was coming from in the window. I also tried to use overpasses and the lines of my car as a way to frame my photographs like Leiter did to only focus on certain parts of the scenery. I think using the overpasses along with the lines of the car to create these horizons was effective. By allowing myself to take photos of things I was unfamiliar with, like abstract lines and shapes, I found myself feeling liberated. The camera opened my eyes to things that I would never have noticed before. The curving lines on the roads, the shapes of buildings, and the reflections of mirrors and CDs are all a part of our everyday lives, but we move to fast to notice. By taking the time to look around me for the shapes that make up our streets, I was able to notice new and interesting patterns. It isn’t about just looking at something out there in the world and snapping a straight photo of it. Rather it is about looking at what’s out there in a different way and creating exciting and new perspectives. We don’t have to change what is out there to create new realities and abstract ideas, but instead we can change the way we look at things. It’s about finding beauty and freshness in the things that go unnoticed on our streets. With these techniques in mind, I plan on using my phone as a camera to create abstract photographs of the city I am in by manipulating what is really out there in the real world. For example, by using reflections to create distortions and confusion, I can instill the same techniques Leiter did. This past weekend, I took a trip to Windsor, Canada and on the way there, I began to think like Leiter did. I wanted to use reflections and color not only to play on reality, but also capture the same lonely, isolated scenes he did.

Biography

In the following the legal basis for the processing of personal data required by Art. 6 I 1 GDPR is listed. After experiencing life through a different lens, I have learned to look more closely at the things around me because there are hidden aspects that can create a new, beautiful perspective. Things that are worth capturing are the things that we create from our own experiences and techniques. This is something I believe Leiter believed and is why he used his camera as a way to create new realities with tools already out there. Saul Leiter: Retrospektive exhibition at Deichtorhallen in Hamburg, Germany; accompanying book is published by Kehrer. Also attends solo exhibition at Jewish Historical Museum, Amsterdam, and is interviewed on stage. My approach most definitely changed throughout the process of taking photos. I originally thought I was going to focus on the isolation aspect aforementioned by taking photos of lone people in the city, simply because I thought this was going to be the only thing I would be able to do, with little photography experience. However, I found that I was actually able to capture those abstract shapes and lines by just playing with the angles and distances of my camera. I am proud that I was able to shift my plan for taking photos because it shows me that I am able to take what I have learned from Leiter’s techniques and apply them in my own way.
