For a decade between 1935 and 1946, Weegee made a name for himself snapping crime scenes, victims and perpetrators. His stark black-and-white photos were often lurid and unsettling. Armed with a Speed Graphic camera and a police-band radio, Weegee often beat the cops to the story, determined to sell his pictures to the sensation-hungry tabloids.
Designed as a series of "dossiers," this book follows Weegee's transformation from a freelancer to a photo-detective. Yet, as this beautifully produced volume shows, they were also brimming with humanity. It explores his relationship with the tabloid press and gangster culture and reveals his intimate knowledge of New York's darkest corners.
It provides readers with a rich historical experience - a New York City "noir" shot through the lens of one of its most iconoclastic figures.
