Leiter’s 1 Lesson Every Photographer Must Learn to Avoid Mediocre Photos

Saul Leiter might be one of the most underappreciated masters in the history of photography. His lens brought a fresh perspective to the everyday, transforming the mundane into the extraordinary. His innovative approach has forever reshaped the landscape of street and color photography.
In this series, I put together the inspiring and educational words of renowned photographers. Each episode is a curated collection of quotes that offer a glimpse into the creative minds behind the camera. My goal is to provide viewers with a source of motivation and insight, weaving together the wisdom of photography's greatest artists.

He's so matter of fact. Like "whatever, i take pictures. Some are good." Zero ego.

Humility is the greatest sign of conscience. A proof of humanity. A way to discover the beauty outside. "My own achievements are rather minor". "I'm not carried away by the greatness of Mr Leiter". Respect !

"And the one nice thing about photography is that it teaches you to LOOK; it teaches you to appreciate all kinds of things."

If you live in the UK, come down to the largest Saul Leiter exhibition we've ever had. It's showing now at MK Gallery in Milton Keynes, just a 30 minute train ride from London!
