In his early years, Feinstein collaborated closely with West. Eugene Smith, for whom he did the extensive layout of Smith"s famous "Pittsburgh Essay." Smith said of Feinstein"s work, "He is one of the very few photographers I have known, or have been influenced by, with the ability to reveal the familiar to me in a beautifully new, in a strong and honest way."
Feinstein is considered part of the New York school of photography, working from the 1930s to 1960s when photographers captured the essence of 20th century New York City during a period of turbulent changes. He is represented by the Panopticon Gallery.
