Naked Hollywood

Naked Hollywood

Weegee

Read Download
In 1947, Weegee relocated from New York City to Los Angeles, abandoning the grisly crime scenes for which he was best known and training his camera instead on Hollywood stars, strip tease artists, costume shops, and naked mannequins, sometimes distorted through trick lenses and combination printing. "Now I could really photograph the subjects I liked," said Weegee of his newfound career in Los Angeles, "I was free." Determined to make it in Hollywood, the photographer served as a technical advisor and played bit parts in studio films, but was rarely credited. Through his own lens however, Weegee portrayed himself as the most famous photographer in the world. "Weegee noticed things that other photographers ignored or dismissed," said Meyer. "At Hollywood premieres, he focused not only on the arrival of the movie stars, but on the faces of fans in the crowd as well as on the signs for pawn shops and funeral parlors near where they stood. By capturing perspectives otherwise dismissed as insignificant, Weegee teaches us how to look at Hollywood-and at photography-in a different light."
