Weegee’s bold, unfiltered style extended beyond documentary work to celebrity portraits, where he used the same dramatic lighting and direct approach to emphasize personality and presence. In this portrait of Louis Armstrong, Weegee applied this signature technique to highlight the musician’s expressive energy. – Some scuff marks and handling creases, otherwise in good condition.
