Kriegsmann "was considered among the best photographers in America, who at that time included Murray Korman, one of Broadway's most prolific photographers; Tony Bruno, a Hollywood photographer who relocated to New York City and worked from his studio in Carnegie Hall; Chicago's Maurice Seymour (of renowned Chicago-based sibling photographers Maurice and Seymour Zeldman) who eventually joined Kriegsmann in New York and photographed alongside him for many years; Ray Ashman of New York who joined Kriegsmann as studio photographer as well; and the legendary George Hurrell of Hollywood."
