Arthur Fellig
Arthur Fellig, better known as Weegee, was a pioneering American photographer renowned for his stark and dramatic images of urban life and crime scenes in New York City during the 1930s and 1940s. He gained the unique privilege of listening in on police radio frequencies, which allowed him to capture raw and often graphic moments from the city's underbelly. His work not only defined the genre of crime photography but also elevated it to an art form, showcasing the harsh realities of life in America at that time.
