Undeniably one of the most influential color photographers of all time, Saul Leiter's breathtakingly beautiful photography continues to influence street photographers all over the globe. Many of your favorite photographers today would have taken inspiration from Leiter's color, compositions, or intimate approach to the medium, some without necessarily realizing it.

Leiter's life's work will be presented in Saul Leiter: An Unfinished World, a major retrospective exhibition at Foam, showcasing over 200 selected works that tell the story of his photographic journey. Leiter's early black-and-white work will sit alongside his most pioneering color photography, interweaved with his abstract paintings that informed his photographic approach and style.
