Weegee

Über den Autor

Weegee, born Usher Fellig, was an influential American photographer known for his stark black-and-white images that captured the gritty reality of urban life in New York City during the 1930s and 1940s. He had a unique ability to be at the right place at the right time, often arriving at crime scenes before the police, which earned him a reputation as a master of candid photography. His raw, unfiltered style showcased the darker sides of life, including crime, death, and the struggles of everyday people, marking a significant departure from the more polished aesthetic of contemporary photography.
