Troll Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 I just got a copy of Ms. Levitt's new book: "One, two, three, More." Many beautiful image, (although not necessarily her most famous ones). I've always loved her work, but it seems to me that it isn't the sort of thing that one could live on. I wonder how she paid the daily bills? Thanks, Wilhelm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian yarvin Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Wilhelm, I once heard her answer this question at a talk in Manhattan back in the eighties. She was a commercial photographer with a bunch of magazine clients - a source of revenue that was common in those days. Indeed, she said that the style of her street photography was something that clients asked for when they gave her assignments. Indeed, her work for fashion magazines in the late forties and fifties so strongly resembles her personal work that they're often shown side-by-side at exhibitions.
