€67.00
Leonard Freed's career blossomed during the American civil rights movement, when he traveled the country with Martin Luther King, Jr. in his celebrated march across the US from Alabama to Washington. This journey gave him the opportunity to produce his 1968 book, Black in White America, which brought considerable attention. His work on New York City law enforcement also led to a book, Police Work which was published in 1980.
Police Work is a classic photography book by Magnum photographer Leonard Freed. The work documents the turbulent 1970s in New York City, capturing the daily lives and experiences of police officers during a period marked by soaring crime and significant social unrest. Freed worked alongside the NYPD for several years to produce these images, which provide a raw and honest look at law enforcement on the beat. This edition is recognized as a definitive collection of his acclaimed work in this genre.
