Alfred Eisenstaedt
Alfred Eisenstaedt is a Polish-born photographer from the early to mid 20th century. He became a staff member for LIFE magazine, where he was renowned for his candid photographs of important people in the news. I was especially pleased to learn that he shot with a 35 mm lens, which is the lens I enjoy the most. He has been fascinated with photography throughout his youth and started taking pictures when he was 14.
I love his dramatic black and white photographs. He takes careful note into his compositions, and it shows. Eisenstaedt's usage of lighting is not comparable. I love that you can still see the highlights in his photographs' highlights and shadows. This truly shows how talented he was.
