Saul Leiter was a photographer who was born in USA and developed most of his
work in New York City. Died in 2013, his work is an immense legacy yet to be
discovered for many. His extraordinary photographs that combines reflections,
blur, dim lights, raindrops on glass and exceptional use of color, framing and
compositions contain features that printed very own stamp to their work.
Construct images in the manner of Saul Leiter is a proposal that is primarily
intended to achieve two goals: on the one hand allow the authors know the work
of this unknown photographer for a vast majority; And last but not least,
encourage to explore risky ways, draw suggestive compositions, benefit from the
overwhelming use of color and their effective combination. In short escape the
comfort zone and penetrate the transformation of reality, the pursuit of
abstraction and originality.
