Armed with a Speed Graphic camera and a police-band radio, Weegee often beat the cops to the story, determined to sell his pictures to the sensation-hungry tabloids. His stark black-and-white photos were often lurid and unsettling. Yet, as this beautifully produced volume shows, they were also brimming with humanity. Designed as a series of \"dossiers,\" this book follows Weegee's transformation from a freelancer to a photo-detective. It explores his relationship with the tabloid press and gangster culture and reveals his intimate knowledge of New York's darkest corners. It provides readers with a rich historical experience - a New York City \"noir\" shot through the lens of one of its most iconoclastic figures.","brand":"Prestel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49421962969431,"sku":"9783791353135","price":33.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/weegee-murder-is-my-business-9783791353135","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
