 For the first time, people other than criminologists, police or forensic photographers were seeing the effects of crime through forensic photography.Among the more famous, and arguably the most famous crime photographer, is Arthur Fellig, better known as "Weegee".He was known for routinely arriving at crime scenes before other reporters, or often even before the police, The nickname is speculated to come from an alternate spelling of the word "Ouija", implying that Fellig had a supernatural force telling where the action was going to occur.
