“New York enchanted and amazed me. Everywhere a new discovery awaited me. I have an intense desire to record life as I see it, as I feel it. As long as I’m amazed and astonished, as long as I feel that events, messages, expressions and movements are all shot through with the miraculous, I’ll feel filled with the certainty I need to keep going."~ Louis Faurer Louis was filled with restless energy to explore all varieties of urban life which he brought to life with his skilled use of techniques such as blur, green, reflections, slow film speed, low lighting. He was as exacting in the darkroom and was a tireless perfectionist when it came to cropping and printing his work.This image could well be a still from a Scorsese movie. His work explored the great variety of the city’s human faces as well as many of his more well known contempories.
