Great Black & White Photographers Part 2

William Klein 

William was born and raised in New York as a young Jewish Boy. He used art at a young age to drive his attention away from others. He studied at the City College of New York. He had also enlisted in the Army. In 1948 he had left to travel to France where we would be able to study painting and then enrolled at the Sorbonne. He married Jeanne Florin and then moved back to New York in 1950s to begin as a photographer. Klein had shot many fashion shows for Vogue, a popular magazine back then. Klein had taken many shots of NewYork and no one would publish them so he had turned them into a book. He had made a film in the 1980s with his many photographs he had taken creating Broadway By Light, Who Are You Polly Maggoo? He had left film work to go back to Photography and continued to work with many others with his photography skills. He now lives in Paris, France, where he is able to work.
