Homicide

Description

This intimate photographic study examines the detectives working for the NYPD's most prestigious homicide division in Brooklyn, a profession that has been woven into American mythology. Wenner was the first photographer in the history of the NYPD to be granted unprecedented access to the division. In the long-lived tradition of photographers like Weegee and filmmakers like Martin Scorcese revealing New York City's dark side, Wenner spent two years capturing these men up close and behind-the-scenes for the first time, documenting their investigative work and its ugly counterpart - murder - all within America's most iconic city.

Theo Wenner studied film and photography under the iconic artist Stephen Shore at Bard College. His work has been featured in Document Journal, i-D, Self Service, M, LeMonde, and Rolling Stone, amongst others; his recent advertising work includes campaigns for Calvin Klein, Chanel, Chloe, and Supreme.
