<p>Weegee, whose real name was Arthur Fellig, was an American photographer known for his gritty and candid street photography. Active primarily in the 1930s and 1940s, Weegee captured the raw and often sensationalistic aspects of urban life, particularly in New York City.</p><p>The term "Weegee Style" is used to describe his distinctive approach to photography. Weegee's style was characterized by his use of a handheld Speed Graphic camera, equipped with a flash, which allowed him to capture scenes in low-light conditions. This resulted in stark black-and-white images with high contrast, emphasizing the dramatic elements of his subjects.</p><p>Weegee's photographs often depicted crime scenes, accidents, fires, and other dramatic events, earning him the reputation of being a "crime photographer." He had a keen eye for capturing human emotions and the human condition, focusing on the individuals involved in these events rather than solely the events themselves.</p><p>One of the defining features of Weegee's style was his ability to get close to his subjects, immersing himself in their world. This closeness and intimacy added a sense of immediacy and authenticity to his photographs.</p><p>Weegee's work had a significant impact on the field of photojournalism and street photography. His raw and unflinching portrayals of urban life continue to inspire photographers today and serve as a documentation of a particular time and place in American history.</p><p>The "Weegee Style" is synonymous with capturing the essence of urban life, highlighting the human drama, and delivering powerful and evocative visual narratives.</p>
