An elegant educational longread celebrating Saul Leiter, the pioneering photographer who revolutionized color photography in the 20th century.

The project demonstrates how minimalist design principles elevate complex historical storytelling. Four carefully structured sections—Biography, Artistic Style, Photographic Rules, and Legacy—guide readers through Leiter’s life with clean typography, strategic whitespace, and beautifully composed imagery.

A thoughtful case study in design intentionality where every visual choice, from navigation to typography, serves both subject and reader experience.
