Nicknamed Weegee after the Ouija board, Arthur Fellig had a strange sense of 'right time right place' as it were, usually at night where he would capture brutal, and violent occurrences. On the whole he was a New York photojournalist, crime scenes being his speciality.
Though untrained photographically speaking, his true passion for the medium, and his eye for composition would lead him to become the stills photographer for Stanley Kubrick's 1964 film Dr. Strangelove.
