List of characteristics:

  • mainly focus on reflection on glass
  • favour red as main colour
  • Raining or snowing day
  • object inside and outside of an display case
  • capturing light

Leiter’s photographic work often captured everyday scenes in New York City, focusing on ordinary objects and people in urban environments. He had a unique ability to find beauty in mundane moments, creating poetic and introspective images. Leiter’s photographs often feature reflections, shadows, and blurred elements, which added a dreamlike quality to his compositions.

Why did I choose him?

I’ve chosen this photographer because I think his work is epic and we have the same beauty standards. We all favour the vibe of raining day and reflection though glass, and his work gives a huge visual impact.

A Quote from Saul Leiter

“Being ignored is a great privilege. That is how I think I learned to see what others do not see and to react to situations differently. I simply looked at the world, not really prepared for anything.”

I choose this quotation because it suited with my vision, sometime watching people is just to frustrating so we need to step out and look at the beauty of our world.
