Photography
Louis Stettner was an American photographer known for black-and-white street photography and portraiture made primarily in New York and Paris during the postwar period. Working with a 35mm camera, he captured candid urban scenes and individual subjects with an attentive, unflinching eye. His work documents the texture of everyday life across two continents, emphasizing gesture, shadow, and the formal geometry of public spaces.
