So, I came across this one:
https://www.theguardian.com/artandd...ul-leiter-nude-friends-and-lovers-in-pictures
TL;DR, a new book of previously unpublished work by Saul Leiter has been recently released.
Here is the kicker - the majority of these photos were Leiter's own private work, that he didn't show or had only shown to close friends.
So, I'm curious to understand what peoples thoughts are on this. I know in the past, I have been very enamoured with Vivian Maier, but I see this as very different. These photos that Leiter had taken were intimate and private and I would suggest, he had with held them for that reason. It really has me questioning the motivation behind this and whether their publication is the right thing to do. But in that breath, I feel like a contradiction.
Thoughts
(PS - I often also disagree with alternate takes of musicians being released. Quite often, they add absolutely nothing to their body of work.)
