Photographer Proposal

I will be doing my photographer oral presentation on Arthur "Weegee" Fellig, a famous photographer and photojournalist from the thirties to the sixties. I chose Weegee because of his influential style, experimenting with zany distortions that contrasted with his street photography, black and white photographs that are akin to a documentary of urban life during his time. Weegee's tendency to follow emergency services to crime scenes also helped pave the way for the future of forensic photography.

Examples of his work are shown below;
