Weegee

Photographer

Weegee, born Arthur Fellig, was a pioneering American photographer and photojournalist renowned for his stark black and white street photography. He is best known for his unflinching and often sensationalistic images of urban life, crime, injury, and death in New York City during the 1930s and 1940s. Working predominantly at night, he famously installed a police-band shortwave radio in his car, allowing him to arrive at crime scenes before his competitors. His unique, gritty style and ability to capture the raw reality of the city made him a celebrated and influential figure in the history of photography.
