Quoted By:
Leiter is best known for his early use of color photography, a medium he embraced in the 1940s and 1950s, long before it was popular in fine art circles. He was a master of light and reflection, often shooting through windows or using rain, snow, and fog to blur and soften his images. His photographs are often defined by layered compositions and muted tones, capturing fleeting, almost dreamlike moments in the streets of New York.
