![]() Haynes is known to spend a great deal of time creating ‘image books’ for his films – extensive compendia in which he gathers photographs, film stills, advertising and other visual materials to help establish the necessary tone and textures. ![]() The film director Todd Haynes has spoken of the debt his recent adaptation of Carol (2015) owes to Leiter’s work yet, while this relationship was supposedly the basis of ‘Through a Lens’, a small display at Somerset House, it was scarcely visible. Too late for him – the American photographer died in 2013 – but three overlapping exhibitions at The Photographers’ Gallery, Somerset House and Hackelbury Fine Art are a clear acknowledgment of the quietly insistent growth of his position within postwar photography. Moments can take a while to arrive, but Saul Leiter is certainly having one now. ![]() Saul Leiter, Carol Brown, Harper’s Bazaar, c.1958, photograph.
