A native of the industrial town of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Saul Leiter had his first camera at the age of 12. Discovered in the 1990's, he made his living mainly with fashion shots, but his favorite subject is street scenes. 100 black and white and colour photographs taken in New York around the 1950's are on exhibition at the Fondation Cartier-Bresson in Paris until April 13.
