Early Color (English Edition, 2011) is a photobook by Saul Leiter, a photographer from Pittsburgh, USA. In 2012, Leiter's documentary film In No Great Hurry was released. The film, which introduced Leiter's glory and hardships, his knowledge as a photographer, and his single-minded and cool attitude of wanting to take pictures of drops of water on windows and snowy landscapes rather than beautiful models, later received a lot of attention and Leiter's popularity became even more heated. Sol Leiter, who took color photographs before the 1950s and was featured in Harper's Bazaar and other magazines for a while, disappeared from the public eye due to the decline in popularity of fashion magazines and changes in trends. This book is a photobook published at the time of an exhibition held in 2005, and is composed of color plates taken in the 1950s. The book features outstanding modeling skills, rich expressiveness, and beautiful illustrations that look like one-shots from paintings and movies. This book sparked the 'Leiter fever', and since then, photobooks about Leiter have been published. Published in 2011, 3rd edition.
