William Klein: Pray + Sin, NY

New York native William Klein was a titan in the world of photography whose work stands as a testament to creative force and vision that defied photographic traditions and conventions. His unorthodox and vibrant approach to the medium continuously challenged photography and was influential for many street photographers for generations to come such as Daido Moriyama and Diane Arbus. Describing his own work as ‘a crash course in what was not to be done in photography‘, his works often captured the grotesque and the beautiful within a single frame.
