Description
Leonard Freed: Police Work by Tony Nourmand and Michael Shulman is a poignant collection of photographs that capture the gritty reality of life on the beat in 1970s New York. Freed's work with the NYPD during this tumultuous period offers a nuanced portrayal of the people and jobs he documented, from murder investigations to community outreach initiatives. This reedited and redesigned book features several unseen photographs from Freed's original archive, providing a fresh perspective on his acclaimed body of work. Born in Brooklyn, New York, photojournalist Leonard Freed was renowned for his insightful portrayals of societal and racial injustices, including the black community during the American civil rights movement. His photographs continue to hold social resonance and relevance today, making this book a compelling exploration of one man's complex and compassionate vision.
