TECHNIQUES to Create Unique Paint Like Photos // Saul Leiter

Saul Leiter, a pioneer of color street photography, blended painterly composition, abstract framing, and atmospheric elements to create some of the most distinctive images in the genre. Working largely within two blocks of his East Village home, Leiter used long focal lengths, reflections, rain, and obscured subjects to produce intimate, timeless scenes of New York life in the 1950s and ’60s. Though he spent decades largely unknown, his rediscovered work—spanning street, fashion, and painting—now stands as a masterclass in quiet observation and subtle beauty. #SaulLeiter #StreetPhotography #ColorPhotography #PhotographyHistory #DocumentaryPhotography Website with Extended Readings, Writings, and Resources: https://developing-tank.com/ Chapters: 0:00 Overview/Intro 0:29 Bio 1:39 Fashion Photography 2:56 From B&W to Color Film 4:25 Influence of Painting on Photos 5:08 Abstract/Unique Photo Techniques 6:34 NYC the Canvas for Photography 8:29 Street Photography Fame in Old Age / @developing.tank
