Exploring the uncanny elements inherent to everyday life by capturing the fleeting moments of spontaneity and intimacy on the streets of New York, the American photographer, Helen Levitt, is celebrated as one of the most important street photographers of the 20^th century.

The most celebrated and least known photographer of her time, Levitt was born on August 31, 1913, in Brooklyn’s Bensonhurst neighborhood in a Russian-Jewish immigrant family.
