This volume brings together the most important photographs from the long career of Louis Stettner. Born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1922, Stettner’s life would span nearly a century, his work reflecting the unique vision of one of the twentieth-century’s master photographers.

Organized chronologically, Louis Stettner presents approximately 190 photographs from Stettner’s career, featuring his iconic images of New York and Paris; the architecture of urban wonders such as Penn Station, the Brooklyn Bridge, and the New York City subway; as well as candid and empathetic street photographs of the people who inhabit these metropolitan centers.

While celebrated for his black-and-white works, the book also includes Stettner’s works in color, many previously unpublished and unknown. The authors investigate the influence of his experiences as a photographer in World War II on his life and work. They also explore his experience with the celebrated Photo League cooperative and his relationships with photographers such as Weegee, Sid Grossman, Ruth Orkin, and Berenice Abbott. The result is a definitive book on Stettner’s photography–making the work of the great lensman available to generations of readers.
