在街头摄影的大师级人物中,美国女摄影家海伦·莱维特(Helen Levitt,1918-)受到卡蒂尔——布列松作品的影响,选择了35毫米小型照相机开始学摄影。她最初拍摄的影像是1936年哈莱姆大街上的孩子们,这被认为是她对儿童世界饱含同情心的起源,为她后来关爱情怀的丰富充盈奠定了坚实的基础。1938年至1939年,她跟随沃克·伊文思学习,后者成了她的良师挚友。她曾经以20年的时间在纽约拍摄黑白画面,并在1959年和1960年两次得到古根海姆基金 Among street-level masters, American female photographer Helen Levitt (1918-), influenced by Cartier-Bresson’s work, chose a 35-mm compact camera to start learning photography. Her first film, the children of Harlem Street in 1936, was considered her full sympathetic origins in the children’s world, laying a solid foundation for her subsequent enrichment of love. From 1938 to 1939, she followed Walker Evans, who became her mentor friend. She has taken black and white pictures in New York for 20 years and the Guggenheim Fund twice in 1959 and 1960
