Often working at night with direct access to police radio frequencies, he documented crime scenes, fires and urban events with a direct, spectacular style that left a lasting mark on press photography. This photograph is linked to the 1956 documentary The Naked Eye, directed by Louis C. Stoumen, dedicated to the photographer's work and personality. It is part of the iconography surrounding Weegee, and testifies to the interest shown in his work in documentary cinema and the history of photography.
