Arthur Fellig(亚瑟.费利格)

1899.06.12-1968.12.26,笔名Weegee,是一位专攻犯罪和暴力的自由派报纸摄影师和摄影记者,以在纽约市的黑白街拍而著称。

上世纪三四十年代,Weegee曾在曼哈顿下东区担任摄影记者,通过跟踪该市的紧急服务和记录他们的活动,发展了他的标志性风格。他的许多作品描绘了城市生活、犯罪、伤害和死亡的坚定现实场景。威吉出版了摄影书籍,也在电影院工作,最初他自己制作短片,后来与杰克·多诺霍和斯坦利·库布里克等电影导演合作。

当人们第一次看到Weegee拍摄的照片时,都很难相信一个普通的地球人可以在城市生活中出现如此多的高光时刻。对这一现象最简单的解释是:真爱赋予了男人独特的品质。Weegee是真的喜爱这座城市——纽约,不是你我所了解的纽约,而是他所熟悉的纽约。因为热爱这座城市,Weegee得以和它亲密无间地生活在一起。无论生病还是健康,他都会带上相机出发,寻找新的证据来证明他的城市是美丽的,即使是在它最混乱、最可悲的时候。

作为一名艺术家,Weegee保持了他独特的风格.。他对纽约的主观描绘应该被看作是一种创造性的艺术作品。因为,虽然所有的元素都在那里供任何人使用,但从来没有人像他那样使用它们。他耐心地寻找这些元素,并用心地将它们组合在一起,使我们能够看到他的城市,相信它,热爱它——但又想让它变得更好。
