Saul Leiter

Saul Leiter on the art of going unnoticed
Interview with Sam Stourdzé

I take photographs in my neighborhood. I think mysterious things happen in familiar places. We don’t always need to run to the other end of the world. I like ambiguity in a photograph.

I like it when one is not certain of what one sees. When we do not know why the photographer has taken a picture, and when we do not know why we are looking at it, all of a sudden, we discover something that we start seeing. I like this confusion.
