A photo book of American photographer Saul Leiter. The writer traveled to New York to study painting in the late 1940s, but was impressed by the Henri Cartier-Bresson exhibition held at MoMA and began to become a photographer. In the 1950s, he was featured in Harper's Bazaar and Vogue, and was also active as a fashion photographer. However, he is a solitary photographer who has been gradually forgotten due to the slump in fashion magazines and changes in trends, and has spent his time in a world far from the front stage. This book is a collection of photographs published at the 2008 exhibition held at the Bresson Foundation in France. It consists of 151 color / monochrome illustrations taken in the 1950s. A number of works full of beauty just like paintings, rich in modeling and expressiveness. Here's a discreet and cool photographer's masterpiece that wants to capture the dripping drops and snow scenes on the windows rather than the beautiful models.
