His painterly use of colour, bold cropping, reflections, and abstraction set him apart, even as critics dismissed his work as unfocused or amateurish. In this video, we explore how Leiter’s so-called “bad” photos became timeless masterpieces, and what modern photographers can learn from his poetic vision. If you've been feeling disconnected from your own work lately, I've put together something that might help. It's not another technical course - it's about finding your way back to why you started.
