kfish3 's review for:
Flash: The Making of Weegee the Famous
by Christopher Bonanos
Flash: The Making of Weegee the Famous by Christopher Bonanos is a free NetGalley ebook that I read in early June.
Usher/Arthur Fellig aka Weegee, a name that represents a kind of male Sasha Fierce persona who is the greatest photographer and can hold a conversation with anyone. That persona in itself created a caricature for those later involved his chosen career and the burgeoning fame of press photographers. His early free-lance photos depict truth in a primitive, no-filter way (showing reactivity, instead of activity; to the minute, emotive photos of crime and tragedy as they happen), then, later in the 1950s, he takes ironic, gaffy human interest story photos for girlie/cheesecake magazines while choosing magazine work over newsprint and publishing his own photobooks and short films.
