Introduction

Leon Levinstein is remembered for his ability to capture people in a raw and unsentimental fashion. His photography captured a wide range of subjects from high society women and businessmen, to prostitutes and the homeless. Although greatly respected within the world of photography, Levinstein remained under the radar for much of his life. While still exhibiting work and having work published in a variety of publications, he remained what many would come to call him 'the lonely photographer.'

This blog sets out to investigate and explore Leon Levinstein the man, the artist and the photographer. It will include his biography, work, critical reception, audio and visual material and much more!
