A couple of weeks after the events of September 11 in New York and Washington, a photograph of a guy standing on the roof of the World shopping center in New York at the moment of approaching the fatal plane. The accompanying text reported that the picture was supposedly printed from a film that was found in the ruins of the World Trade Center. The FBI, they say, developed the film and specially published the picture on the Internet in order to find out who this guy was.
Immediately there were observant people who noticed suspicious facts:
"Tourist" is too warmly dressed for the weather that was on September 11 in New York;
The "tourist" could not be on the roof of the WTC when the first plane crashed into the building (8.45 am), because the observation deck opened at 9.30 am;
the plane comes in from the wrong side from which it actually flew up;
and in general this is a plane of the wrong model;
the angle of the shadow is not correct for this time of day;
the font used by the camera to mark the date of the photograph is not the one normally used.
The "tourist of death" was debunked, and seemed to be consigned to the dustbin of history forever. However, Internet users have a new hobby: using Photoshop to insert "Tourist" into various images- later, exactly the same fate will be prepared for the Witness from Fryazino.
Many were interested in the identity of the person depicted in the original. The "tourist of death" is called Peter Guzli, then he was 25 years old and he lived in Budapest. On the roof of the World Trade Center in New York, Peter visited in November 1997. When the complex was destroyed, Guzli remembered these pictures and took up Photoshop. Then he sent the picture to his friends, not assuming what all this will result in.
2. Afghan girl
In late 1984, photographer Steve McCurry ended up in the Nazir Bagh Afghan refugee camp in Pakistan, where he was allowed to take pictures in a girls' classroom at a school. Later, he recalled that he immediately noticed Her, but approached last turn because I felt her embarrassment and confusion. The girl allowed to take pictures, but it never occurred to him to ask or write down her name: “I didn’t think that this photo would be any different from many other pictures that I took that day,” McCurry later said.
But she was different. In June 1985, the photograph appeared on the cover of National Geographic and immediately became a symbol of the Afghan people's struggle for independence. In the 20+ years since its publication, the "Afghan Girl" photograph has become one of the most recognizable images of the time. The photo was replicated by other magazines, appeared on postcards and posters, on the backs of peace fighters in the form of a tattoo, and so on. According to the National Geographic Society of the United States, she became one of 100 the best photos, and in the late 1990s. Appeared on the cover of National Geographic's collection of photographs. In 2005, the cover of "Afghan Girl" ("Afghan Girl") entered the top ten "Best Magazine Covers of the Past 40 Years".
3. Palestinian martyr
On September 30, 2000, after the outbreak of the second Palestinian intifada, France 2 correspondent Charles Enderlin and cameraman Abu Rahma filmed a shootout between militants and the Israeli military in the Gaza Strip. Two Palestinians - Jamal al-Dura and his son Mohammed, who were under crossfire on one of the streets, got into the frame. The father, according to the authors of the video, was wounded, and the son was killed. The actual moment of the boy's death was not caught on film, but the report showed the child's body with comments that he had died from an Israeli bullet.
The France 2 report received a wide response around the world, and the deceased Mohammed al-Dura actually became a symbol of the second intifada. Israel first publicly apologized for the death of al-Dura, but then several independent journalistic investigations came to the conclusion that the child was killed by Palestinian militants. For a long time, Israel did not officially react to the scandal that unfolded around the France 2 report - it presented its version of events that blamed the militants for what happened only in 2007.
4. Famine in Sudan
Kevin Carter won the Pulitzer Prize for "Famine in Sudan", taken in early spring 1993. On this day, Carter flew to Sudan specifically to shoot scenes of hunger in a small village. Tired of shooting people who died of starvation, he left the village in a field overgrown with small bushes and suddenly heard a quiet cry. Looking around, he saw a little girl lying on the ground, apparently dying of hunger. He wanted to take a picture of her, but suddenly a vulture vulture landed a few steps away. Very carefully, trying not to startle the bird, Kevin chose the best position and took a picture. After that, he waited another twenty minutes, hoping that the bird would spread its wings and give him the opportunity to get a better shot. But the damned bird did not move, and in the end, he spat and drove it away. In the meantime, the girl apparently gained strength and went - more precisely crawled - further. And Kevin sat down near the tree and cried. He suddenly terribly wanted to hug his daughter ...
5 Loch Ness Monster
The "surgeon's photograph" is the most famous photograph of the Loch Ness monster and actually started the Loch Ness craziness from this photograph alone. When someone thinks of Nessie, then, without a doubt, this is the photograph that comes to mind. The photograph was allegedly taken by the physician R. Kenneth Wilson and his wife in 1934, when they were relaxing near the shores of Loch Ness. Unfortunately for all the "scientists" who spent decades studying Nessie, the photograph was 100% fake.
The monster in the photo is an ordinary toy submarine. The creation of a fake doctor was prompted by a desire to take revenge on the Daily Mail newspaper. A journalist for the publication ridiculed a man named Wetherall after what the man thought were Nessie's footprints on the shore turned out to be the footprints of a hippopotamus. Waverall and his friend and accomplice Wilson decided to humiliate the newspaper with yet another fake, but even after the photo took hold of the minds of the public, they did not confess to what they had done.
6. Self-immolation of a Buddhist monk
The iconic shot was taken in 1963 by photographer Malcolm Brown. For this work, the photographer was awarded the Pulitzer Prize and recognized as the best world press photo of the year.
The Buddhist monk who committed a public act of suicide in protest of the oppression of Buddhism was named Thich Quang Duc. At that time, the first Vietnamese president, Ngo Dinh Diem, pursued a policy of ousting the religion of Buddhism from the country.
At the same time, the photographer from the New York edition of the Associated Press, Malcolm Brown, received a call and was informed that on the morning of June 11 he should appear at a specified location in Saigon. It was reported that a great and historically significant event was to take place there.
The photographer arrived at the specified location exactly on time, taking with him a reporter from the New York Times. Soon a blue "Austin" appeared on the street, from which a group of monks came out, among them was the same Thich Quang Duc. He calmly sat down on the ground in a lotus position, holding a box of matches in his hands. The monks took a can of gasoline and doused Thich Kuang Duc's body with it, then the monk himself lit a match, and soon his body was burning with a bright flame. The most amazing fact in this whole story is that during the process of self-immolation, the monk was remarkably calm. He didn't utter a single word or even change his posture. Only after his body was completely burned did it drop dead. But as it turned out, the monk's heart did not burn, and now it is considered a relic of Buddhism. As well as the blue "Austin" on which the monks arrived in Saigon.
As it turned out, shortly before the incident, the monk who committed self-immolation sent a letter to the President of Vietnam asking him to stop the widespread repression of Buddhists, not to detain the monks and give them the right to quietly preach their religion. However, there was no response to the letter. And after this terrible performance of the wife of the president's brother was made on the city street, Madame Niu said that she was very upset because she could not see how the monk Thich Quang Duc was burning, but she would gladly "clap her hands "on another burning of Buddhists.
7. The last Jew of Vinnitsa
The famous photograph of the execution of the last Jew of the Ukrainian Vinnitsa in 1941, taken by an officer of the German Einsatzgruppe, which was engaged in the execution of persons subject to destruction (primarily Jews). The title of the photo was written on its back.
Vinnitsa was occupied by German troops on July 19, 1941. Some of the Jews living in the city managed to evacuate. The remaining Jewish population was imprisoned in the ghetto. On July 28, 1941, 146 Jews were shot in the city. In August, the shootings resumed. On September 22, 1941, most of the prisoners of the Vinnitsa ghetto were destroyed (about 28,000 people). Craftsmen, workers and technicians, whose work was necessary for the German occupation authorities, were left alive.
The issue of employing Jewish specialists was discussed at a special meeting in Vinnitsa in early 1942. The participants in the meeting noted that there were five thousand Jews in the city, in their hands "all trades ... they also work in all enterprises of vital importance." The city police chief said that the presence of Jews in the city worries him very much, "because the building being built here [A. Hitler's headquarters] is in danger due to the presence of Jews here." On April 16, 1942, almost all Jews were shot (only 150 specialist Jews were left alive). The last 150 Jews were shot on August 25, 1942. However, the Germans did not manage to destroy all the Jews of Vinnitsa to the last - the Jews hiding in the city participated in the citywide underground. There were at least 17 Jews among the underground workers.
The unknown rebel (also English Tank Man) is the code name by which the man became known, for half an hour he alone held back a column of tanks during the unrest in Tiananmen Square in June 1989. The most famous photograph of him was taken by Jeff Widener, a reporter for the Associated Press, from the sixth floor of the Beijing Hotel. It shows a man standing unarmed in front of a column of Type 59 tanks. The panoramic photo was taken by Stuart Franklin a little earlier and shows 19 tanks of this column.
The footage of a simple Chinese with string bags opposing tanks went around the world, becoming a symbol of what was called "a protest against the tyranny of a totalitarian state." The picture was printed by hundreds of newspapers and magazines around the world, hit the TV news. In April 1998, the American magazine "Time" included the "Unknown Rebel" in the list of 100 most influential people of the 20th century.
International journalist Vsevolod Ovchinnikov, who was in China at that time, considered this photograph to be "perhaps the only true frame" of those events, comparing it with "frames that captured violence that went around the world as episodes of the" massacre on Tiananmen Square "", which in reality were the result of television.
In 2013, on the 24th anniversary of the events, a version of the picture was circulated on the Internet, in which 4 giant rubber ducks are depicted instead of tanks.
9 Marlborough Street Fire
On July 22, 1975, Boston Herald journalist Stanley Foreman, hearing firefighters' reports of a fire on Marlborough Street, immediately rushed to the scene. At the scene of the fire, the journalist managed to capture a tragic story: firefighters did not have a few seconds to get to the girls Diana Bryant and the very young Tiara Jones who were in trouble. When the fire escape was already close, the flame burst out. The girls flew down. Diana Bryant died, Tiara Jones managed to survive. Subsequently, Foreman was awarded the Pulitzer Prize, but the main thing is that this case drew the attention of the authorities to the problems of fire safety.
10. Lynching of young blacks in Minnesota (USA) in 1930
The Hanged - two Negroes, Thomas Shipp and Abram Smith. They were arrested on charges of murdering a white man and raping his girlfriend. The charge of rape was later not confirmed, only murder. But nobody began to understand. A crowd of more than 2,000 people beat off the arrested from the police (they did not really resist) and hanged them.
11. Banner of Victory on the Reichstag
The world-famous photographs of Yevgeny Khaldei "The Banner of Victory over the Reichstag" depicted the fighters of the 8th Guards Army Alexei Kovalev, Abdulkhakim Ismailov and Leonid Gorichev.
Khaldei, on the instructions of the TASS Newsreel, took photographs on May 2, 1945, when street fighting had already ended and Berlin was completely occupied by Soviet troops. In addition, many red banners were installed on the Reichstag. The photographer asked the first soldiers he met to help take photographs. Soon he filmed two cassettes with them. The banner that Alexey Kovalev is holding in the photo, the photographer brought with him.
October 30, 2009, 05:49 pmThese photographs are known to any person who is more or less familiar with the history of photography. Yes, it’s art, because looking at them you understand that here, more than ever, the photographer has gone beyond the framework of an outside observer, into which his lens drives him, and has become an Artist, that is, he rethought reality and passed through himself. Here we see not so much an objective reflection of reality as its subjective assessment given by the author. Each of these photos has its own story... "Federal soldiers who fell on the first day of the Battle of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania" One of the first military photojournalists, Matthew Brady was known as the creator of the daggerotypes of Abraham Lincoln and Robert E. Lee. Brady had everything: a career, money, his own business. And he decided to risk all this (as well as his own life), following the army of northerners with a camera in his hands. Having narrowly escaped capture in the very first battle in which he took part, Brady somewhat lost his patriotic fervor and began to send assistants to the front line. Over several years of war, Brady and his team took more than 7,000 photographs. That's quite an impressive number, especially considering that taking a single picture required equipment and chemicals placed inside a covered wagon pulled by several horses. Not very similar to the usual digital "soap dishes"? The photographs that seemed so appropriate on the battlefield had a very heavy aura. However, it was thanks to them that ordinary Americans for the first time were able to see the bitter and harsh military reality, not veiled by jingoistic slogans. 
"The assassin of John F. Kennedy was shot..."“Oswald was taken outside. I squeeze the camera. The police hold back the pressure of the townspeople. Oswald took a few steps. I press the shutter. As soon as the shots rang out, I pulled the trigger again, but my flash did not have time to reload. I started to worry about the first photo and two hours later I went to develop the photos.” – Robert H. Jackson The photography that raised the stakes of photojournalists. Omaha Beach, Normandy, France Military photojournalist Robert Capa said that if your photos are bad, it means that you were not close enough to the scene. And he knew what he was talking about. His most famous photographs were taken on the morning of June 6, 1944, when, together with the first detachments of infantry, he landed on the coast of Normandy on the day of the Allied landings. Having come under fire, Capa was forced to dive underwater with the camera to avoid bullets. He barely escaped. Of the four films taken by the photographer on the day of the terrible battle, only 11 frames survived - the rest were hopelessly damaged by an elderly laboratory assistant, who in a hurry lit up almost all the material (as it turned out later, he tried to have time to develop the films before the latest issue of Life magazine was put into print). Ironically, it was this error in film development that gave several surviving photographs their famous "surreal" appearance (Life magazine erroneously suggested that they were "a little out of focus" in the commentary on the photographs). Fifty years later, director Steven Spielberg, on the set of the landing scene in Normandy from the film Saving Private Ryan, tried to recreate the effect of Robert Capa's photographs by shooting protective film for the blur effect. "Murder of a Viet Cong by Saigon Police Chief" AP photojournalist Eddie Adams once wrote, "Photography is the most powerful weapon in the world." A very appropriate quote to illustrate his own life - in 1968, his photograph of an officer shooting a handcuffed prisoner in the head not only won the Pulitzer Prize in 1969, but also completely changed American attitudes to what was happening in Vietnam. Despite the obviousness of the image, in fact, the photograph is not as unambiguous as it seemed to ordinary Americans, filled with sympathy for the executed. The fact is that the man in handcuffs is the captain of the Viet Cong "revenge warriors", and on this day many unarmed civilians were shot dead by him and his henchmen. General Nguyen Ngoc Loan, pictured left, has been haunted by his past all his life: he was refused treatment at an Australian military hospital, after moving to the US, he faced a massive campaign calling for his immediate deportation, the restaurant he opened in Virginia, every day was attacked by vandals. "We know who you are!" - this inscription haunted the general of the army all his life. "He killed a handcuffed man," said Eddie Adams, "and I killed him with my camera." 
"The Death of Omaira Sanchez" November 13, 1985. Eruption of the volcano Nevado del Ruiz (Colombia). Mountain snow melts, and a mass of mud, earth and water 50 meters thick literally wipes everything in its path from the face of the earth. The death toll exceeded 23,000 people. The disaster received a huge response around the world, thanks in part to a photo of a little girl named Omaira Sanchez. She was trapped, up to her neck in slush, her legs trapped in the concrete structure of the house. Rescuers tried to pump out the dirt and free the child, but in vain. The girl held on for three days, after which she became infected with several viruses at once. As journalist Christina Echandia, who was nearby all this time, recalls, Omaira sang and talked with others. She was frightened and constantly thirsty, but she was very courageous. On the third night, she began to hallucinate. The photo was taken a few hours before death. Photographer – Frank Fournier. 
"Portrait of Churchill" January 27, 1941. Winston Churchill went into a photographic studio at 10 Downing Street to have some of his portraits taken, demonstrating his resilience and determination. However, his gaze, despite everything, was too relaxed - with a cigar in his hands, the great man did not match the image that photographer Yousuf Karsh wanted to get. He went up to the great politician and with a sharp movement pulled the cigar right out of his mouth. The result is slightly higher. Churchill looks angrily at the photographer, who, in turn, presses the shutter. So humanity received one of the most famous portraits of Winston Churchill. Two photos showing a grand change in life in the USA. 
grocery store Just a few years before the “Great Depression” of the USA. Shops are overflowing with fish, vegetables and fruits. The photo was taken in Alabama, next to the railroad. "Mother of Settlers" Thanks to legendary photographer Dorothea Lange, Florence Owen Thompson has been the epitome of the Great Depression for many years. Lange took the photograph while visiting a vegetable picker camp in California in February 1936, wanting to show the world the resilience and resilience of a proud nation in hard times. The story of Dorothea's life turned out to be as attractive as her portrait. At 32, she was already the mother of seven children and a widow (her husband died of tuberculosis). Finding themselves virtually destitute in the resettlement labor camp, her family subsisted on the meat of the birds the children managed to shoot and vegetables from the farm, as did the rest of the 2,500 camp workers. The publication of the photo produced the effect of an exploding bomb. The story of Thompson, which appeared on the covers of the most authoritative publications, caused an immediate response from the public. The Resettlement Administration immediately sent food and emergency supplies to the camp. Unfortunately, the Thompson family had already left the habitable place by this time and received nothing from the generosity of the government. It should be noted that at that time no one knew the name of the woman depicted in the photograph. Only forty years after the publication of this photograph, in 1976, Thompson "revealed" herself by giving an interview to one of the national newspapers. 
"Retreat" The retreat of the US Marine Corps in 1950 due to inhuman frosts. During the Korean War, General MacArthur overestimated his capabilities, and was absolutely confident in the success of the campaign. So he considered before the counterattack of the Chinese troops, after which he uttered his famous phrase: “We are retreating! For we are moving in the wrong direction!” 
"Famine in Sudan" Photographer Kevin Carter won the Pulitzer Prize in 1994 for his work. The card depicts a Sudanese girl crouched with hunger. Soon she will die, and the big condor in the background is ready for it. The photo shocked the entire civilized world. The origin of the girl is unknown to anyone, including the photographer. He took a picture, chased away the predator and watched the child leave. Kevin Carter was a member of the Bang Bang Club, four intrepid photojournalists who travel around Africa in search of photo sensations. Kevin Carter was forgotten by the entire reading public for the fact that when he was asked if he took this girl to the food distribution point, he replied that he was only a messenger bringing news, and it was not his job to help. Two months after receiving the award, Carter committed suicide. Possibly haunted by horrific memories of what he saw in Sudan. "The Monster of Loch Ness" or "Photograph of a Surgeon", This photo is also called "Surgeon's Photo". This blurry photo, taken in April 1934, is known to the whole world. For 60 years, it fed the most incredible assumptions about a living fossil pangolin living today in the Scottish Loch Ness, gave rise to a lot of rumors and conjectures, initiated several underwater expeditions and gave rise to a whole tourism industry in a small Scottish town. This continued until 1994, when the adopted son of the author of the fraud - Christian Spurling - did not tell the public that his stepfather, Marmaduke Weatherell, hired by the London Daily Mail to search for a large animal, could not find him and decided to take this fake photo with the help of Christian's stepson and son Jen. Yen is the actual author of the photo. The Nessie was a hastily constructed and supported on the surface with a toy submarine and a plank counterweight. In order to make the story look more believable, the scammers persuaded a local surgeon, Robert Kenneth Wilson, to identify himself as the author of the picture. 
"Rice Line" Between the winter of 1948 and the spring of 1949, Henry Cartier Bresson traveled with his camera to Beijing, Shanghai and other cities. This photo was taken in Nanjing. The photo shows a line of starving people for rice. "Gandhi and his spinning wheel". One of the most influential people of the 20th century, Gandhi, did not like to be photographed, but in 1946, Life staff member, Margaret Bork-White, was allowed to take a photo of him in front of a spinning wheel - a symbol of the struggle for Indian independence. Before the photographer was allowed to take part in the photo session, she herself had to learn how to use a spinning wheel - these were the requirements of Gandhi's entourage. After overcoming this obstacle, Margaret had two more. To begin with, it turned out that it was forbidden to speak with Gandhi - he just had a “day of silence”, which he traditionally spent without talking to anyone. And, since he hated bright light, Margaret was allowed to take only three shots (accompanied by three flashes). The problem was also the very humid atmosphere of India, which adversely affected the condition of the camera, so the first two photos were unsuccessful, but the third shot turned out. It was he who shaped the image of Gandhi for millions of people. The photo was the last lifetime portrait of Gandhi - two years later he was killed. "Dali Atomicus" Philippe Haltzman was the only photographer to have made a career out of shooting people…in a jump. He argued that in the jump, the subject involuntarily shows his real, inner essence. One cannot but agree with this statement, looking at a photograph of Salvador Dali called "Dal? Atomicus". 6 hours, 28 jumps, a full room of assistants throwing a bucket of water into the air and angry cats - this is how this photo was born. In the background of the photograph is Dali's unfinished surreal masterpiece Leda Atomica. Haltsman wanted to pour milk out of the bucket, not water, but in the post-war period this was too dismissive of the food product. Haltzman's photographs of celebrities in a jump have appeared on at least seven covers of Life magazine and have given rise to a new kind of portrait - without the obligatory hitherto static. "Einstein showing tongue" You may rightly ask yourself, "did this photo really change the world?" Einschnein revolutionized nuclear physics and quantum mechanics, and this photograph changed the attitude towards both Einstein and scientists in general. The fact is that the 72-year-old scientist was tired of the constant press harassment that bothered him on the Princeton campus. When he was asked for the hundred thousandth time to smile at the camera, instead of smiling, he presented Arthur Seiss with his tongue sticking out at the camera. This language is the language of genius, which is why photography instantly became a classic. Now Einstein will always be remembered and considered a great original - always! "The Body of Che Guevara" Thug? Sociopath? A beacon of socialism? Or, as the existentialist Jean-Paul Sartre called him, "the most perfect man of our age"? Regardless of your point of view, Ernesto "Che" Guevara has long been the patron saint" of revolutionaries around the world. Without a doubt, he is a legendary man, and this status was assigned to him not by life, but by his own death. Unhappy with Che's efforts to propagate revolution among the poor and oppressed in Bolivia, the national army (trained and equipped by US troops and the CIA) captured and executed Che Guevara in 1967. But before his body was buried in a secret grave, the assassins gathered around him, posing for staged photography. The military wanted to prove to the world that Che was dead, hoping that his political movement would die with him. Expecting accusations that the photo was faked, Che Guevara's prudent executioners amputated his hands and preserved them in formaldehyde. But by killing a man, the Bolivian officials unwittingly gave rise to a legend about him. The photograph that went around the world bore a striking resemblance to Renaissance images of Jesus taken from the cross. Che's face is eerily calm, and his killers preen in front of the camera, one of them points to a wound in the body of Che Guevara. Thanks to this photograph, Che Guevara will forever be remembered as a martyr who died for socialist ideas. "Airship Hindenburg" The explosion of the Hindenburg airship in 1937 is, of course, not the wreck of the Titanic or the Chernobyl tragedy of the 20th century. Of the 97 people on board, 62 miraculously survived. During landing at Lakeharst Airport, New Jersey, after a flight from Germany, the German Hindenburg zeppelin exploded. The shell of the airship was filled with hydrogen, and not safe inert helium, since the Americans at that time had already refused to sell this gas to a potential enemy: a new world war was imminent. The event was filmed by 22 photographers. After the incident, airships were no longer considered a safe and developed mode of transport. This photo recorded the end of the development of the airship. "Snake Valley" Many believe that the era of photography can be divided into two parts: before Ansel Adams and after Ansel Adams. In the “pre-Adomsian” era, photography was not considered at all as an independent art. Photos with the help of various manipulations were made similar to paintings. Adams, on the other hand, avoided any manipulation of the images with all his might, declaring photographic art "the poetry of reality." With his work, he proved the value of "pure photography". In an era of fairly compact portable cameras, he stubbornly clung to bulky equipment and old-fashioned large-format cameras. Adams showed Americans the beauty of their national nature. In 1936, he took a series of photographs and sent them to Washington to help save Kings Canyon in California. As a result, this area was declared a national park. "VE Day, Times Square, 1945" or "The Kiss" On August 14, 1945, the news of Japan's surrender heralded the end of World War II. A stormy celebration began on the streets of New York, but perhaps none of the inhabitants of the city felt freer at that moment than the military. Among happy people who gathered in Times Square that day included one of the most talented photojournalists of the 20th century, a German immigrant named Alfred Eisenstadt. Snapping pictures of the celebration with his camera, he spotted a sailor "walking down the street and grabbing every girl in his field of vision." He later explained that he didn't care if she was "grandma, strong, thin, old or young" - he didn't Of course, a photograph of a sailor imprinting a kiss on the lips of a venerable pensioner would never have appeared on the cover of Life magazine, but when a dashing military man danced and kissed an attractive nurse, and Eisenstadt took a picture, the image was circulated by newspapers all over the country. It goes without saying that the VE-Day photograph was not a depiction of two war-torn lovers meeting, but to this day it remains an enduring symbol of America at the end of a long struggle for peace. 
"The Boy with the Grenade" The boy with a toy grenade in his hand is a famous work of photographer Diane Arbus. The boy's name is Colin Wood, the son of the famous tennis player Sidney Wood. In his right hand, the boy squeezes a grenade, in his left hand is empty. Diane took a long time to select the shooting angle she needed, as a result, the guy could not stand it and shouted “Shoot already!”. In 2005, the photo was sold for $408,000. 
"Trunks" Street punks threatening the photographer with a gun. Yes, the child is only 11 years old, and the gun in his hands is a toy. He's just playing his game. But if you look closely, you will not see any game in his eyes. 
"Picasso" Eight pieces of xl:) were required in order to ideally display the dissimilarity of views on the world of Pablo Picasso and other people. The artist was delighted with this photo. “Look at the bread! Only four fingers! That's why I decided to call this photo "Picasso",” Picasso told his friend, photographer Duwanuoshi. 
"People and Pictures" Robert Doisneau (Robert Doisneo) did not follow the traditions of artistic photography of his time. Using the reportage technique of shooting, he looked for the unusual in the ordinary, exciting in the everyday. Every day, a nude painting was displayed in the window of a popular shop and the reaction of passers-by was photographed. The best photos taken by Robert Doisneo are included in the series “People and Pictures”. So, perhaps, a “hidden camera” appeared.
The year 1939 is considered to be the year of the invention of photography. Since that time, the technique of photography and the concept itself has changed dramatically. Regardless of when the photograph was taken, some of them have left an unforgettable mark on history. We present to your attention the most famous photographs.
National Geographic photographer Steve McCurry captured an Afghan girl in his famous photo. In 2002, the girl was found and her name became known - Sharbat Gula. In 1985, a photograph of a refugee girl appeared on the cover of National Geographic, after which she gained worldwide fame and became a symbol of the suffering of refugees around the world.
The photo of the Legendary Liverpool Four was taken on August 8, 1969. The photo was created as a cover for the last 12th album of the group. And interestingly, it took exactly 6 minutes for this frame. Impressive fans saw in the photo a lot of signs that confirmed the death of Paul Macartney. According to them, the photo shows a double of the musician, and Paul himself died. The photo composition itself is a symbolic presentation of the funeral. Closed gas musician, he goes barefoot and out of step with the other participants. Paul was left-handed and cannot hold a cigarette in his right hand. Well, the cigarette itself is a sign of a nail in the coffin lid. But in reality, the photograph symbolized only one death. The Beatles were in the process of breaking up the band. The 12th album is the last collaboration.
The photograph is titled The Torment of Omaira. A girl, Omaira Sanchaz, was trapped in a concrete wall after the volcanic eruption of Nevado del Ruiz (Colombia) in 1895. For 3 days, rescuers tried to save the child. The photo was taken a few hours before her death.
The photograph of John Lennon and Yoko Ono became famous for being taken hours before the musician's murder. The photo became the cover of Rolling Stone magazine. The picture belongs to the famous American photographer Annie Leibovitz, who has worked with Rolling Stone since 1970.
Mike Wells, UK. April 1980 Karamoja region, Uganda. A starving boy and a missionary.
For this picture, photographer Kevin Carter was awarded the Pulitzer Prize. The photo is titled "Hunger in Sudan". After the photo was published in the New York Times on March 26, 1993, it became a symbol of the tragedy of Africa. Probably everyone has a question what happened to the girl next? Why didn't they help her? HER fate is not known. Kevin Carter didn't help the dying girl. In 1994, the author of the photo committed suicide.
Rhine II by Andreas Gursky. The picture was taken in 1999. The photo shows the Rhine between the dikes under an overcast sky. An interesting fact is that the photo was taken using Photoshop. Gursky deleted
power plant, port facilities and a dog walker. At the Christie's auction in New York, $4,338,500 was given for the picture. This is the most expensive photograph in history.
Albert Einstein with his tongue hanging out. The reason for this act of the scientist was his attitude towards annoying journalists and photographers. The photo was taken at the celebration of the scientist's 72nd birthday in 1951. Photography is a kind of symbol and calling card Albert Einstein, able to joke and rejoice.
Switzerland. The photo shows the effects of freezing rain. If you do not take into account how much destruction this rain brought, this phenomenon is of extraordinary beauty.
The legendary photo "Lunch on a skyscraper". At a skyscraper construction site, eleven workers have lunch at a height of 200 meters. None of them express even an ounce of concern. Early publications do not include the photographer's name. But some experts claim that the author of the work is Lewis Hine. His portfolio includes many shots of the construction of Rockefeller Center.
This amazing photo was taken in 1948 without the use of Photoshop and technology. It is customary to call her Dali and cats. Photographer Phillip Halsman has been friends with Dali for 30 years.
The photograph is the most replicated photograph in history. The creator of the masterpiece is Alberto Korda. A photo with Che Guevara has become a kind of brand. The image of the Cuban revolutionary can be found on all sorts of items: clothes, dishes, badges, etc.

A boy with a grenade in his hand. The work of photographer Diana Arbus. In the photo is the son of tennis player Sidney Wood, Colin Wood. In his right hand, the boy holds a toy grenade. It seems that the child is terribly frightened, but in fact the photo did not work out for a long time and the boy shouted in hysterics “Take it off already!”. $408,000 in 2005, an unknown collector paid for the photo.

Time: The 100 Most Influential Photos of All Time
The American magazine Time presented the 100 most influential photographs of all time.
Journalists, photographers, editors and historians from all over the world have been selecting images for the project for about three years and have conducted thousands of interviews with the authors of the photos, their friends, family members, and people in them.
Each photo is accompanied by a detailed story about its creation.

Photo: 100photos.time.com Photograph taken by American photographer Charles Clyde Ebbets in 1932 during the Great Depression. It is rightfully considered one of the best photographs in the world and a symbol of the industrialization of the 20th century. It depicts 11 workers sitting in a row on a steel beam at a great height, without insurance, casually eating and chatting among themselves - as if it costs them nothing. However, 260 meters above the streets of New York during times of unemployment scared people less than hunger. There was a construction of the Rockefeller Center, it was the 69th floor.
Pillow fight, Harry Benson, 1964
Photo: 100photos.time.com View from the window on Le Grace, Joseph Nicéphore Niépce, circa 1826
Photo: 100photos.time.com Joseph Nicéphore Niépce was the first to find (in 1820) a way to fix the image obtained in a camera obscura, using asphalt varnish as a light-sensitive substance. This process was called by him "heliography" (translated from Greek - "drawn by light").
In 1826, with the help of light rays, he received a copy of the engraving, thereby laying the foundation for the reproduction technique. In the same year, 1826, Niépce directed a camera obscura from the window of the studio to the roofs of neighboring buildings and received, albeit a vague, but fixed light pattern.
It is unlikely that the resulting photo can be called successful. But its dignity is determined not by the clarity of the image, but by a completely different criterion: serial number. She is the first. The world's first photograph. And in this sense, not only successful, but absolutely priceless. And like everything else, it is doomed to eternal life.
Joseph Niepce himself, as befits all great inventors, died in poverty.

Photo: 100photos.time.com The most famous kiss in the world was filmed by Albert Eisenstadt in Times Square during the celebration of Victory Day over Japan on August 14, 1945. During the crowded noisy festivities, Eisenstadt did not have time to ask the names of the heroes of the picture, and therefore they remained unknown for a long time. It was only in 1980 that it was possible to establish that the nurse in the photograph was Edith Shane. But the name of the sailor is still a mystery - 11 people said that it was them, but they could not prove it.
Here is what Eisenstadt said about the moment of shooting: “I saw a sailor running down the street and grabbing any girl who was in his field of vision. Whether she was old or young, fat or thin, he didn't care. I ran ahead of him with my Watering Can looking back over my shoulder, but I didn't like any of the pictures. Then all of a sudden I saw him grab someone in white. I turned around and filmed the moment the sailor kissed the nurse. If she was wearing dark clothes, I would never have photographed them. As if the sailor was in a white uniform. I took 4 photos in a few seconds, but only one satisfied me.”

Sheir took one single photograph, but it was she who became the symbol of the Hindenburg crash, it was she who got the dubious fame of being "the world's first photograph fixing the crash of an aircraft."

Photo: 100photos.time.com Gandhi and the Spinning Wheel, Margaret Bourke-White, 1946
Photo: 100photos.time.com Margaret Bourke-White had the rare opportunity to photograph Mahatma Gandhi, India's ideological leader and one of the most celebrated and exalted personalities of the 20th century.
Bourke-White had to prepare diligently for the photo shoot, because Gandhi was very meticulous: he did not like bright light, so good lighting was unacceptable, and he could not be spoken to (it was his day of silence). In addition, she had to learn how to spin with a wheel before taking photographs. She overcame all these trials and hurdles without hesitation.
In the process of obtaining this immortal photograph of Mahatma Gandhi, Bourke-White suffered a series of setbacks. She had technical difficulties on both her first and second attempts: one flash bulb was damaged, and another frame was blank because she forgot to insert a record into the camera.
But in spite of the humid Indian climate at that time, and overcoming ill health, she remained calm, and her third attempt was successful. Margaret departed triumphantly with this wonderful photograph of Gandhi and his spinning wheel.
This momentous shot has become one of his finest portraits, easily recognizable throughout the world. Less than two years later, he was assassinated. With this portrait, Bourke-White immortalized the image of Mahatma Gandhi for the whole world.

As you know, Churchill never parted with his cigar, including in photographs. And when photographer Yusuf Karsh came to him to shoot, he was not going to change himself. Yusuf first delicately placed an ashtray in front of the Prime Minister, but he ignored it, and the photographer had to say “I'm sorry, sir” and pull the cigar from Churchill himself.
“When I returned to the camera, he looked as if he wanted to devour me,” Karsh, the author of one of the most expressive portraits of all time, later recalled.

Photo: 100photos.time.com One of the most famous photographs of World War II was taken on February 23, 1945 by Joe Rosenthal. Six members of the US military hoist the US flag on Mount Suribachi, the highest point of a very small island in essence, for which the battle was fought for more than a month.
Interestingly, the moment captured in the picture was not the first flag-raising at this point. The mountain was taken two hours earlier, and that's when the "stars and stripes" were placed on it. But the flag was small, and they decided to replace it with a more substantial one. This moment was captured by Joe Rosenthal, who provided this photograph not only with the Pulitzer Prize for himself, but also proved the existence of the Marine Corps, whose effectiveness was then doubted.
Three of the photographed soldiers then died in the fighting on the island, which continued for another month and three days after the flag was raised. And the three survivors became celebrities in the States because of this picture. The flag survived and is now stored in the Museum of the Marine Corps, torn and battered.

This occupation gradually grew from a hobby into a talent and professionalism. At the age of 29, he creates his first professional photograph, which he gave the name "American Gothic" (American Gothic).
