Take a closer look at this photo. This is one of the most remarkable photographs ever taken. The baby's tiny hand reached out from the mother's womb to squeeze the surgeon's finger. By the way, the child is 21 weeks from conception, the age when he can still be legally aborted. The tiny hand in the photo belongs to a baby who was due on December 28 last year. The photo was taken during an operation in America.
The first reaction is to recoil in horror. It looks like a close-up of some terrible incident. And then you notice, in the very center of the photo, a tiny hand grasping the surgeon's finger.
The child is literally grasping for life. It is therefore one of the most remarkable photographs in medicine and a record of one of the most extraordinary operations in the world. It shows a 21-week-old fetus in the womb, just before the spinal surgery required to save the baby from severe brain damage. The operation was performed through a tiny incision in the mother's wall and this is the youngest patient. At this stage the mother may choose to have an abortion.
The most famous photograph that no one has seen is what Associated Press photographer Richard Drew calls his photograph of one of the World Trade Center victims who jumped from a window to his death on September 11
“On that day, which, more than any other day in history, was captured on camera and film,” Tom Junod later wrote in Esquire, “the only taboo, by common consent, was the pictures of people jumping from windows.” Five years later, Richard Drew's Falling Man remains a terrible artifact of the day that should have changed everything, but didn't.
Photographer Nick Yut took a photo of a Vietnamese girl running away from a napalm explosion. It was this photo that made the whole world think about the Vietnam War.
The photo of 9-year-old girl Kim Phuc on June 8, 1972 has gone down in history forever. Kim first saw this photo 14 months later in a hospital in Saigon, where she was being treated for terrible burns. Kim still remembers running from her siblings on the day of the bombing and cannot forget the sound of the bombs falling. A soldier tried to help and poured water on her, not realizing that this would make the burns even worse. Photographer Nick Ut helped the girl and took her to the hospital. At first, the photographer doubted whether to publish a photo of a naked girl, but then decided that the world should see this photo.
The photograph was later named the best photo of the 20th century. Nick Yut tried to protect Kim from becoming too popular, but in 1982, when the girl was studying at medical university, the Vietnamese government found her, and since then Kim’s image has been used for propaganda purposes. “I was under constant control. I wanted to die, this photo haunted me,” says Kim. She later managed to escape to Cuba to continue her education. There she met her future husband. Together they moved to Canada. Many years later, she finally realized that she could not escape from this photograph, and decided to use it and her fame to fight for peace.
Malcolm Brown, a 30-year-old Associated Press photographer from New York, received a telephone call asking him to be at a certain intersection in Saigon the next morning because... something very important is about to happen. He came there with a reporter from the New York Times. Soon a car pulled up and several Buddhist monks got out. Among them is Thich Quang Duc, who sat in the lotus position with a box of matches in his hands, while others began to pour gasoline on him. Thich Quang Duc struck a match and turned into a living torch. Unlike the crying crowd that saw him burn, he did not make a sound or move. Thich Quang Duc wrote a letter to the then head of the Vietnamese government asking him to stop the repression of Buddhists, stop the detention of monks and give them the right to practice and spread their religion, but received no response
On December 3, 1984, the Indian city of Bhopal suffered from the largest man-made disaster in human history. A giant toxic cloud released into the atmosphere by an American pesticide plant covered the city, killing three thousand people that same night, and another 15 thousand in the next month. In total, more than 150,000 people were affected by the release of toxic waste, and this does not include children born after 1984
Surgeon Jay Vacanti of Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston is working with microengineer Jeffrey Borenstein to develop a technique for growing an artificial liver. In 1997, he managed to grow a human ear on the back of a mouse using cartilage cells.
The development of technology that allows culturing the liver is extremely important. In the UK alone, there are 100 people on the transplant waiting list, and according to the British Liver Trust, the majority of patients die before receiving a transplant.
A photo taken by reporter Alberto Korda at a rally in 1960, in which Che Guevara is also visible between a palm tree and someone's nose, claims to be the most circulated photo in the history of photography.
The most famous photograph of Stephen McCurry, taken by him in a refugee camp on the Afghan-Pakistan border. Soviet helicopters destroyed the village of a young refugee, her entire family was killed, and the girl traveled for two weeks in the mountains before getting to the camp. After its publication in June 1985, this photograph became a National Geographic icon. Since then, this image has been used everywhere - from tattoos to rugs, which turned the photograph into one of the most replicated photos in the world
At the end of April 2004, the CBS program 60 Minutes II aired a story about the torture and abuse of prisoners at Abu Ghraib prison by a group of American soldiers. The story featured photographs that were published in The New Yorker magazine a few days later. This became the biggest scandal surrounding the American presence in Iraq.
In early May 2004, the leadership of the US Armed Forces admitted that some of its torture methods did not comply with the Geneva Convention and announced its readiness to publicly apologize.
According to the testimony of a number of prisoners, American soldiers raped them, rode them on horseback, and forced them to fish food out of prison toilets. In particular, the prisoners said: “They forced us to walk on all fours, like dogs, and yelp. We had to bark like dogs, and if you didn’t bark, you were hit in the face without any mercy. After that, they threw us in cells, took away our mattresses, spilled water on the floor and forced us to sleep in this slurry without removing the hoods from our heads. And they were constantly photographing it all,” “One American said he would rape me. He drew a woman on my back and forced me to stand in a shameful position, holding my own scrotum in my hands.”
The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 (often referred to simply as 9/11) were a series of coordinated suicide terrorist attacks that occurred in the United States of America. According to the official version, responsibility for these attacks lies with the Islamist terrorist organization Al-Qaeda.
On the morning of that day, nineteen terrorists allegedly associated with al-Qaeda, divided into four groups, hijacked four scheduled passenger airliners. Each group had at least one member who had completed basic flight training. The hijackers flew two of these airliners into the World Trade Center towers, American Airlines Flight 11 into WTC 1, and United Airlines Flight 175 into WTC 2, causing both towers to collapse, causing severe damage to adjacent structures.

The photograph of an officer shooting a handcuffed prisoner in the head not only won a Pulitzer Prize in 1969, but also changed the way Americans think about what happened in Vietnam. Despite the obviousness of the image, in fact the photograph is not as clear as it seemed to ordinary Americans, filled with sympathy for the executed man. The fact is that the man in handcuffs is the captain of the Viet Cong "revenge warriors", and on this day he and his henchmen shot and killed many unarmed civilians. General Nguyen Ngoc Loan, pictured left, was haunted his whole life by his past: 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 army general all his life
Republican soldier Federico Borel García is depicted facing death. The photo caused a huge shock in society. The situation is absolutely unique. During the entire attack, the photographer took only one photo, and he took it at random, without looking through the viewfinder, he did not look towards the “model” at all. And this is one of the best, one of his most famous photographs. It was thanks to this photograph that already in 1938 newspapers called 25-year-old Robert Capa “The Greatest War Photographer in the World.”

By the early summer of 1994, Kevin Carter (1960-1994) was at the height of his fame. He had just won the Pulitzer Prize, and job offers from famous magazines were pouring in one after another. “Everyone congratulates me,” he wrote to his parents, “I can’t wait to meet you and show you my trophy. This is the highest recognition of my work, which I did not dare even dream of.”
Kevin Carter won the Pulitzer Prize for his photograph "Famine in Sudan," taken in the early spring of 1993. On this day, Carter specially flew to Sudan to film scenes of famine in a small village. Tired of photographing people who had died of hunger, he left the village into 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 photo of her, but suddenly a vulture landed a few steps away. Very carefully, trying not to spook the bird, Kevin chose the best position and took the photo. 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. Meanwhile, the girl apparently gained strength and walked - or rather crawled - further. And Kevin sat down near the tree and cried. He suddenly had a terrible desire to hug his daughter...
November 13, 1985. Nevado del Ruiz volcano erupts in Colombia. The mountain snow is melting, and a 50-meter-thick mass of mud, earth and water literally wipes out everything in its path. 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 found herself trapped, neck-deep in the slush, her legs caught in the concrete structure of the house. Rescuers tried to pump out the mud and free the child, but in vain. The girl survived for three days, after which she became infected with several viruses at once. As journalist Cristina Echandia, who was nearby all this time, recalls, Omaira sang and communicated with others. She was scared and constantly thirsty, but she behaved very courageously. On the third night she began to hallucinate.
Alfred Eisenstaedt (1898-1995), a photographer working for Life magazine, walked around the square photographing people kissing. He later recalled that he noticed a sailor who “rushed around the square and kissed indiscriminately all the women in a row: young and old, fat and thin. I watched, but there was no desire to take a photo. Suddenly he grabbed something white. I barely had time to raise the camera and take a photo of him kissing the nurse.”
For millions of Americans, this photograph, which Eisenstadt called “Unconditional Surrender,” became a symbol of the end of World War II...
I have long been planning to post life and success stories of the most famous photographers in the past in my feed. Actually, I wanted to start maintaining my Topics with this very topic.
Lately, I’ve often thought that everything we do (this means both our professional activities and our hobbies) is some kind of PSHIC, which is unlikely to ever change anything in the lives of current and future generations . Those. the question is WHAT after all is SELF-REALIZATION(including in photography?!)
Elliott Erwitt- a legend of world photography, became famous as the most talented author of black and white photographs. His works: lively, emotional, with a sense of humor and deep meaning, have captivated audiences in many countries. The uniqueness of the photographer’s technique lies in the ability to see irony in the world around him. He did not like staged shots, did not use retouching and worked only with film cameras. Everything that Ervit has ever filmed is genuine reality, through the eyes of an optimist.
“I want the images to be emotional. There is little else that interests me in photography."Elliott Erwitt
Arnold Newman (Arnold Newman) devoted nearly seventy years of his life to photography, not stopping working almost until his death: “August and I (Newman speaks of his wife - A.V.) are busier and more active than ever,” the photographer said in 2002, “Today I’m working again on new ideas, books, travel - it will never end and thank God.” He was wrong about this - on June 6, 2006 he died - sudden cardiac arrest. As if anticipating this diagnosis, he once said: “We don’t take photographs with cameras. We make them with our hearts."
« I think today's generation has one problem. It is so carried away by objectivity that it forgets about photography itself. Forgets to create images like Cartier-Bresson or Salgado - two of the greatest 35mm photographers who ever lived. They can use any theme to create a photograph, no matter what it is. They truly create photography that you enjoy, a lot of pleasure from. And now, every time it's the same thing: two people in bed, someone with a needle in their arm or something like that, Lifestyles or nightclubs. You look at these and after a week you begin to forget, after two weeks you can’t remember a single one. But a photograph can then be considered interesting when it sinks into our consciousness» Arnold Newman
Alfred StieglitzAccording to Encyclopedia Britannica, Alfred Stieglitz (Alfred Stieglitz) "almost single-handedly pushed his country into the world of 20th-century art." It was Stieglitz who became the first photographer whose works were awarded museum status. From the very beginning of his career as a photographer, Stieglitz faced disdain for photography from the artistic elite: “The artists to whom I showed my early photographs said they were jealous of me; that my photographs are better than their paintings, but, unfortunately, photography is not art. “I couldn’t understand how you can simultaneously admire a work and reject it as not made by hands, how you can put your own works higher only on the basis that they are made by hand,” Stieglitz was indignant. He could not come to terms with this state of affairs: “Then I began to fight... for the recognition of photography as a new means of self-expression, so that it would have equal rights with any other forms of artistic creativity.”
« I would like to draw your attention to the most popular misconception about photography - the term “professional” is used for photos that are generally considered successful, the term “amateur” is used for unsuccessful ones. But almost all great photographs are made - and always have been taken - by those who pursue photography in the name of love - and certainly not in the name of profit. The term “amateur” precisely implies a person working in the name of love, so the fallacy of the generally accepted classification is obvious.”Alfred Stieglitz
It is perhaps difficult to find in the history of world photography a personality more controversial, tragic, and so unlike anyone else than Diane Arbus. She is idolized and cursed, some imitate her, others try with all their might to avoid it. Some can spend hours looking at her photographs, others try to quickly close the album. One thing is obvious - the work of Diane Arbus leaves few people indifferent. There was nothing insignificant or trivial about her life, her photographs, her death.
Extraordinary talent Yousuf Karsh as a portrait photographer, he did his job: he was - and remains - one of the most famous photographers of all times. His books sell in huge numbers, exhibitions of his photographs are held all over the world, and his works are included in the permanent collections of leading museums. Karsh had a great influence on many portrait photographers, especially in the 1940s and 1950s. Some critics argue that he often idealizes the character, imposes his philosophy on the model, and talks more about himself than about the person being portrayed. However, no one denies that his portraits are made with extraordinary skill and the inner world - of the model or the photographer - has a captivating attention on the viewer. He received many awards, prizes, honorary titles, and in 2000 the Guinness Book of Records named Yusuf Karsh the most outstanding master of portrait photography.
« If, by looking at my portraits, you learn something more significant about the people depicted in them, if they help you sort out your feelings about someone whose work has left an imprint on your brain - if you look at the photograph and say: “ Yes, that’s him” and at the same time you learn something new about the person - that means this is a really successful portrait» Yusuf Karsh
Man Ray Since the beginning of his photography career, he has constantly experimented with new technical techniques. In 1922, he rediscovered the method of creating photographic images without a camera. Another discovery of the photographer, also known long before him, but practically not used, was solarization - an interesting effect that is obtained by re-exposing a negative. He turned solarization into an artistic technique, as a result of which ordinary objects, faces, and body parts were transformed into fantastic and mysterious images.
“There will always be people who look only at the technique of execution - their main question is “how”, while others, more inquisitive, are interested in “why”. For me personally, an inspiring idea has always meant more than other information."Man Ray
Steve McCurrySteve McCurry (Steve McCurry) has the amazing ability to always (at least, much more often than follows from the theory of probability) be in the right place at the right time. He is surprisingly lucky - although it should be remembered that luck for a photojournalist usually comes from the misfortunes of other people or even entire nations. A more than prestigious education did little to help Steve in the profession of a photojournalist - he worked his way to the heights of his craft through trial and error, trying to learn as much as possible from his predecessors.
“The most important thing is to be extremely attentive to the person, serious and consistent in your intentions, then the picture will be the most sincere. I really like watching people. It seems to me that a person's face can sometimes tell a lot. Each of my photographs is not just an episode from life, it is its quintessence, its whole story.”Steve McCurry
“A Mixture of Algebra with Harmony” made Gjon Mili one of the most famous photographers in America. He showed the world the beauty of frozen motion or a series of moments frozen in one frame. It is unknown when and where he became interested in photography, but in the late 1930s his photographs began to appear in the illustrated magazine Life - in those years both the magazine and the photographer were just beginning their path to fame. In addition to photography, Mili was interested in cinema: in 1945, his film “Jammin’ the Blues” about famous musicians of the 1930-1940s was nominated for an Academy Award.
“Time really can be stopped”Gyen Miles
Andre Kertész known as the founder of surrealism in photography. His unconventional angles, for that time, and his unwillingness to reconsider the position in the style of his works greatly prevented him from achieving wide recognition at the beginning of his career. But he was recognized during his lifetime and is still considered one of the outstanding photographers who stood at the origins of photojournalism, if not photography in general. " We all owe him a lot» - Cartier-Bresson about Andre Kertésche.
« I don't adjust or calculate, I watch a scene and know that it is perfection, even if I have to step back to get the right light. My work is dominated by the moment. I shoot the way I feel. Everyone can look, but not everyone can see. » Andre Kertész
Richard AvedonIt's hard to find a celebrity who hasn't posed Richard Avedon. His models include the Beatles, Marilyn Monroe, Nastassja Kinski, Audrey Hepburn and many other stars. Very often, Avedon manages to capture a celebrity in an unusual form or mood, thereby revealing a different side to her and forcing her to take a different look at a person’s life. Avedon's style is easily recognizable by its black and white colors, blinding white backgrounds, and large portraits. In portraits, he manages to turn people into “symbols of themselves.”
Peter Lindbergh- one of the most respected and copied photographers. He can be called a "poet of glamor." Since 1978, when Stern Magazine published his first fashion photographs, no international fashion publication has been without his photographs. Lindbergh's first book, Ten Women, a black-and-white portfolio of the ten best models of the time, was published in 1996 and sold more than 100,000 copies. The second, Peter Lindbergh: Images of Women, a collection of the photographer's work from the mid-80s until the mid-90s, published in 1997.
Since ancient times, the Czech Republic has been a country of mysticism and magic, the home of alchemists and artists; they weaved spells and were creators of fantastic worlds of imagination. World famous Czech photographer Jan Saudek not an exception. Over the course of four decades, Saudek created a parallel Universe - the Magic Theater of Dreams.
p.s. I just now noticed that the vast majority of the most famous photographers are Jews :)The image can speak all languages. And their language is understood not only by photographers, but also by photography lovers, simply grateful viewers. Photography has witnessed the evolution of cameras, from the traditional pinhole camera to the modern digital camera. All of them were used to produce excellent images. When you think about some of the most famous photographers from yesteryear and today, you realize that photography is an art, not just freezing a moment.

Adams also took portraits of celebrities, politicians and military leaders of the time. He believed that a photographer should be able to manipulate a scene to reflect the truth.
Felice Beato

Portrait photography
Ueno Hikoma
Born in Nagasaki. Portrait works and landscape photographs brought fame. He started with his own commercial studio, where he gained enormous experience in portrait photography. Author of portraits of many famous and famous people of that time. In 1891 he made a portrait of the Russian heir to the throne.
Philippe Halsman
Although Halsman suffered several setbacks in his personal life early on, this did not stop him from becoming a superb portrait painter of his time. His photographs were somewhat harsh and dark and differed significantly from portraits of the time. Portraits were published in many magazines of the time, including Vogue. After meeting the surrealist artist Salvador Dali, he decides to make a surreal portrait of Dali, a skull and seven nude figures. It took three hours to complete the planned work. It was he who developed the philosophy of displaying a person in motion, in a jump. I believed that this was the only way to show a “real” person from the inside. At the peak of his career, he took portraits of celebrities such as Alfred Hitchcock, Marilyn Monroe, Winston Churchill, Judy Garland and Pablo Picasso.
Hiro Kikai ( Hiroh Kikai)
Monochrome portraits of residents of the Asakusa district (Tokyo) brought fame to this Japanese photographer. In his early years, he witnessed many clashes and spent all his free time photographing visitors to Asakusa. A perfectionist by nature, he could spend several days searching for the right person—the subject of the photo.
