Photography

Dave Heath was an American photographer who documented urban life and social conditions in the postwar United States. Working primarily in black and white, he created intimate, psychologically charged portraits and street photographs that conveyed isolation and human vulnerability. His work emerged from the humanist photography tradition of the mid-twentieth century, combining direct observation with a formal sensitivity to composition and light.
