I’ve recently purchased ”All about Saul Leiter” book online. Ive seen his work before hand through friends style of photography with their own style of water droplets on windows and multiple layers of action within a frame.
These are a few of the images I’m personally drawn to below.
Why is it I like these images?
- Composition
- Colouring
- Negative space
- Strong silhouette
- Layers of action
- Sense of unknown
- Hidden beauty
His compositions are extremely true in regard to the rule of thirds. The use of negative space and how the viewer is drawn into the image. The above image are ones that hold my eye when flicking through this book. Mainly due to the above comments. Strange you may think when I’ve been mainly supporting the Bnw genres, I do like a strong colour picture as long as I can the photographer has my attention as soon my eye has seen it.
