{"product_id":"9783791353135","title":"Weegee: Murder is My Business","description":"\u003cbr\u003eDrawn from the International Center of Photography's archives, this book highlights the incomparable style and fascinating career of Weegee, one of New York City's quintessential press photographers. For a decade between 1935 and 1946, Weegee made a name for himself snapping crime scenes, victims, and perpetrators. Armed with a Speed Graphic camera and a police-band radio, Weegee often beat the cops to the story, determined to sell his pictures to the sensation-hungry tabloids. His stark black-and-white photos were often lurid and unsettling. Yet, as this beautifully produced volume shows, they were also brimming with humanity. Designed as a series of \"dossiers,\" this book follows Weegee's transformation from a freelancer to a photo-detective. It explores his relationship with the tabloid press and gangster culture and reveals his intimate knowledge of New York's darkest corners. It provides readers with a rich historical experience--a New York City \"noir\" shot through the lens of one of its most iconoclastic figures.","brand":"Prestel Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47059496599792,"sku":"9783791353135","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9783791353135_p0.jpg?v=1763684210","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783791353135","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
