Photos of world photographers. The most famous photographs of the 20th century

All of the photographs below are World Press Photo Contest winners over the years.

"The most famous photograph that no one has seen," is how Associated Press photographer Richard Drew calls his picture of one of the victims of the World Trade Center who jumped out of a window to meet her own death on September 11. “On the day that most of all days in history has been captured on cameras and on film,” Tom Junod later wrote in Esquire, “the only taboo by consensus was taking pictures of people jumping out of windows.” Five years later, Richard Drew's "falling man" remains a terrible artifact of the day that should have changed everything, but did not.

A photograph showing the face of the Great Depression. Thanks to legendary photographer Dorothea Lange, Florence Owen Thompson has literally been the epitome of the Great Depression over the years. Lange took the picture while visiting a vegetable picker camp in California in February 1936 to show the world the resilience and resilience of a proud nation during difficult times. Today, such photographs (as well as videos) can be taken with the xiaomi yi action camera, but in those days, more primitive cameras were used. Dorothea's life story turned out to be as compelling as her portrait. At 32, she was already a mother of seven children and a widow (her husband died of tuberculosis). Finding themselves practically without a livelihood in a labor camp for displaced persons, her family ate meat from birds, which they managed to shoot by children and vegetables from the farm - so did the other 2,500 camp workers. The publication of the photograph had the effect of a bomb exploding. Thompson's story, which has appeared on the covers of the most authoritative publications, has caused an immediate response from the public. The IDP immediately dispatched food and necessities to the camp. Unfortunately, by this time the Thompson family had already left their habitable place and received nothing from the government's bounty. 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, giving an interview to one of the central newspapers.

Photographer Nick Yute snapped a photo of a Vietnamese girl fleeing an exploding napalm. It was this picture that made the whole world think about the Vietnam War. The photo of 9-year-old girl Kim Fook on June 8, 1972 went down in history forever. Kim first saw this picture 14 months later at a hospital in Saigon, where she was being treated for strange burns. Kim still remembers running away from her siblings on the day of the bombing, and she cannot forget the sound of the bombs falling. A soldier tried to help and doused her with water, not suspecting that this would make the burns even worse. Photographer Nick Yug helped the girl and took her to the hospital. At first, the photographer hesitated whether to publish a photo of a naked girl, but then decided that the world should see this picture. Later, the photo was named the best photo of the 20th century. Nick Yute tried to keep Kim from becoming too popular, but in 1982, when the girl was studying at medical university, the Vietnamese government found her, and since then the image of Kim has been used in propaganda chains. “I was constantly monitored. I wanted to die, this Photo haunted me, ”says Kim. Later there was immigration to Cuba, where she was able 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 this photograph, and decided to use it and her fame in order to fight for peace.

Fire at the Triangle Shirtwaist Company, 1911 The American company Triangle Shirtwaist became famous in the United States for its love of cheap labor of young immigrants in their factories. Since there was a risk that such personnel would steal, during working hours the doors of the shops were closed until the end of the shift. It was this "tradition" that caused the tragedy on March 25, 1911, when a fire broke out on the ninth floor of a factory building in New York. At first, witnesses to the fire thought that the workers were saving the most expensive fabrics from the fire, but, as it turned out, the people who were locked in the burning workshop jumped out of the windows themselves. Thereafter, a nationwide campaign to improve occupational safety began in the United States.

Biafra, 1969 When the Igbo tribe declared itself independent from Nigeria in 1967, Nigeria imposed a blockade on their former eastern region of Nigeria, the newly proclaimed republic of Biafra. The war between Nigeria and Biafra lasted 3 years. In the course of this war, more than a million people died mainly from hunger. War photographer Don McCullin, who took this photo, commented on his visit to the camp, where there were 900 starving children: "I no longer want to photograph the soldiers of the battlefield."

DEATH OF GEBBELS. During the capture of Berlin by Soviet troops, the main ideologue of fascism, Joseph Goebbels, took poison, having previously poisoned his family - his wife and six children. The corpses, according to his dying order, were burned. Here is a photograph showing the corpse of a criminal. The shot was taken in the building of the imperial chancellery on May 2, 1945 by Major Vasily Krupennikov. On the back of the picture, Vasily wrote: "We covered the causal place of Goebbels with a handkerchief, it was very unpleasant to look at it ..."

All the pain is in just one look ... (Henry Cartier Bresson) The photo was taken in 1948-1949, when the author traveled to China. The picture shows a hungry boy standing idle for a long time in an endless line for rice.

The Moments When the Assassin of John F. Kennedy was Shot (Robert H. Jackson) The author was filming Oswald - the man who at one time took the life of the President of the United States of America, John F. Kennedy. Everywhere there were indignant people who demanded the death penalty for the criminal. The photographer pressed the shutter and took another shot. The moment the flash was charging for the next shot, the killer was shot. The shot was fatal for Oswald.

The event depicted in the photograph cannot be called a world tragedy (35 out of 97 people died), but everyone considers this picture to be the one that served as the beginning of oblivion of airships - the frame captured the collapse of the Hindenburg airship of one well-known manufacturer. Shooting contracts were with a dozen photographers from various print media. From that moment on, the airship was no longer considered the safest mode of transport in the world - soon its era passed.

A photograph of an officer shooting a handcuffed prisoner in the head not only won the Pulitzer Prize in 1969, but also completely changed the attitude of Americans towards what was happening in Vietnam. Despite the obviousness of the image, in fact, the photograph is not as straightforward 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 "warriors of revenge", and on that day he and his henchmen shot and killed many unarmed civilians. General Nguyen Ngoc Loan, pictured on the left, has been haunted by his past his entire life: he was refused treatment in an Australian military hospital, after moving to the United States he was faced with a massive campaign calling for his immediate deportation, a restaurant that he opened in Virginia every day was attacked by vandals. "We know who you are!" - this inscription haunted the army general all his life.

By the early summer of 1994, Kevin Carter (1960-1994) was at the height of his fame. He had just received a Pulitzer Prize, 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 that I dared not even dream of. "Kevin Carter received the Pulitzer Prize for his photograph" Famine in Sudan ", taken in early spring 1993. On this day, Carter flew to Sudan on purpose to film scenes of famine in a small village. Tired of filming people who died of hunger, 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 photo of her, but suddenly a vulture vulture landed a few steps away. Very carefully, trying not to frighten off the bird, Kevin chose the best position and took the picture. After that, he waited another twenty minutes, hoping that the bird would spread its wings and give him the opportunity to take a better shot. But the damned bird did not move and, in the end, he spat and drove her away. Meanwhile, the girl apparently gained strength and went - or rather crawled - further. And Kevin sat down by the tree and began to cry. He suddenly felt a terrible desire to hug his daughter.

Malcolm Brown, a 30-year-old photographer (Associated Press) from New York, received a phone call and asked to be at a certain intersection in Saigon the next morning because something very important is about to happen. He arrived there with a reporter from the New York Times, and soon a car drove up and several Buddhist monks got out. Among them is Thich Ouang Due, who sat in the lotus position with a box of matches in his hands, while the others began to pour gasoline on him. Thich Quang Due struck a match and turned into a living torch. Unlike the crying crowd watching him burn, he didn't make a sound or move. Thich Quang Duo wrote a letter to the then head of the Vietnamese government asking him to end the repression of Buddhists, stop the detention of monks and grant them the right to practice and spread their religion, but received no response.

12-year-old Afghan girl - famous photograph of Steve McCurry, taken by him in a refugee camp on the Afghan-Pakistani border. Soviet helicopters destroyed the village of a young refugee, her whole family died, and. before getting to the camp, the girl made a two-week trek in the mountains. After publication in June 1985, this photo becomes a National Geographic icon. Since then, this image has not been used anywhere - from tattoos to rugs, which has made photography one of the most widely replicated photos in the world.

The photograph was taken on September 29, 1932, on the 69th floor during the final months of Rockefeller Center's construction.

A photograph showing the hoisting of the Victory Banner over the Reichstag has spread all over the world. Evgeny Khaldey, 1945.

Death of a Nazi functionary and his family. Vienna, 1945 Evgeniy Khaldey: “I went to the park near the parliament building to take pictures of the passing columns of soldiers. And I saw this picture. A woman was sitting on a bench, killed by two shots to the head and neck, next to her was a dead teenager of about fifteen and A little further away lay the corpse of the father of the family. He had a gold NSDAP badge on his lapel, and a revolver nearby. Came at 6 am. I saw him and his family from the basement window. There is not a soul on the street. He pushed the benches together, told the woman to sit down, and ordered the children to do the same. I didn't understand what he was going to do. And then he shot mother and son. The girl resisted, then he put her on the bench and also shot her. He stepped aside, looked at the result and shot himself. "

The inimitable Marilyn Monroe Photography needs no comments! It captures one of the best actresses of all years, Marilyn Monroe, during her break. The girl was distracted by someone and she, by sheer coincidence, averted her eyes from the lens. However, this gave the picture an extraordinary mystery and true charm.

Republican soldier Federico Borel Garcia is depicted facing death. The picture caused a huge shock in the society. The situation is absolutely unique. During the entire time of the attack, the photographer took only one picture, while taking it at random, without looking through the viewfinder, he did not look at the "model" at all. And this is one of the best, one of the most famous photographs of him. It was thanks to this photograph that, as early as 1938, newspapers called 25-year-old Robert Cap “The Greatest War Photographer in the World”.

The photo reflects a terrible tragedy - November 13, 1985, the eruption of the Colombian volcano Nevado del Ruiz. A muddy slurry from streams of dirt and earth swallowed all living things underneath. More than 23 thousand people died in those days. A girl, Omaira Sanchaz, was captured in the frame a few hours before her death. She could not get out of the mud, as a huge concrete slab gripped her legs. The rescuers did their best. The girl behaved courageously, encouraging everyone around her. In a terrible trap, hoping for rescue, she spent three long days. On the fourth, she began to hallucinate and died from the viruses she caught.

Take a closer look at this photo. This is one of the most remarkable photographs ever taken. The baby's tiny hand reached out of the womb to squeeze the surgeon's finger. By the way, a child is 21 weeks old from conception, the age when he can still be legally aborted. The tiny pen in the photo belongs to a baby who was supposed to be born on December 28 last year. The photo was taken during an operation in America. The child literally grabs onto life. This is why it is one of the most remarkable photographs in medicine and a recording of one of the most extraordinary surgeries in the world. It shows a 21-week-old fetus in the womb, just before the spine surgery was required to save the baby from serious brain damage. The operation was performed through a tiny incision in the mother's wall and this is the youngest patient. At this time, the mother can choose to have an abortion. Little Samuel's mom said that they "cried for several days" when they saw this photo. She said: “This picture reminds us that my pregnancy is not a disease or a disability, it is a small person.” Samuel was born completely healthy, the operation was 100% successful. The doctor's name was Joseph Bruner. When he finished the operation, he said only one thing: "Beauty!" As an addition: in some Western countries it is allowed to have an abortion up to 28 weeks / in France up to 22 weeks, in the Russian Federation up to 12 weeks.

First X-ray, 1896 On January 13, 1896, Roentgen announced his achievement to Emperor Wilhelm II. And already on January 23 in Würzburg (Germany), where the famous laboratory of V.K.Rentgen was located, at a meeting of the Scientific Society of Medical Physicists, the scientist publicly performs an X-ray of the hand of one of the members of the society present - the anatomist Professor Kolliker.

At the end of April 2004, 60 Minutes II on CBS aired a story about the torture and abuse of prisoners in Abu Ghraib prison by a group of American soldiers. The plot featured photographs that were published in The New Yorker a few days later. This became the loudest scandal around the American presence in Iraq.

The photograph that brought war into every home. One of the earliest war photojournalists, Matthew Brady, was known as the creator of the daggerotypes of Abraham Lincoln and Robert Lee. Brady had it all: career, money, own business... And he decided to risk all this (as well as his own life), following the army of the northerners with a camera in his hands. Having barely escaped capture in the very first battle in which he took part, Brady somewhat lost his patriotic ardor and began to send assistants to the front line. For several years of the war, Brady and his team took more than 7,000 pictures. This is quite an impressive figure, especially when you consider that in order to take a single shot, equipment and chemicals were required, which were placed inside a covered wagon, which was carried by several horses. Doesn't it look very much like your 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 patriotic slogans.

By Charles Moore / Black Star, 1963 Birmingham, Alaska has long been known as a hotbed of conflict between its large African American population and the white majority. The photo shows one of the episodes of the suppression of a peaceful demonstration for the rights of blacks, which was organized by Martin Luther King. The police use arrests, mounted units and gunfire, poison people with dogs.

Alfred Eisenstaedt (1898-1995), photographer for Life magazine, walked around the square taking pictures of kissing people. Later he recalled that he noticed a sailor who “ran around the square and kissed all women in a row, young and old, fat and thin, indiscriminately. I watched, but the desire to photograph did not appear. Suddenly he grabbed something white. I barely had time to raise the camera and take a picture 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.

The sea is incomprehensible, mysterious and clean. It leaves no one indifferent ... Exciting photos of Josh Adamski (Josh Adamski)

The sea is incomprehensible, mysterious and clean. It leaves no one indifferent ... Exciting photos of Josh Adamski (Josh Adamski)

Josh Adamski is a famous British photographer, master of modern photography. He gained his fame through the art of conceptual photography. Talented photographer Josh Adamski creates true masterpieces of photography, not only enhancing his work with digital processing, but also putting his soul into them, reflecting the idea and meaning. Josh Adamski is of the opinion that there are no definite rules for creating a good photograph, but there are good photographers who take good photos. And he considers his main motto to be the statement of Ansel Adams: “You don’t take a photograph, you make it”, which in translation means: “You must not photograph, you must take a photograph”.

They say the sea is endless. From a geographic point of view, this is certainly not the case. However, if you look at it even for a moment, all doubts disappear at once. The endless horizon is so vast, so far away.

I love walking by the sea. They never bother me, because they are always different. The sea itself is not the same. It is changeable in nature. Today it is calm and quiet and, as if there is nothing more affectionate than its light waves. The water reflects the warm rays of the sun and dazzles, not accustomed to bright light, eyes. The warm sand warms my legs pleasantly, and my skin turns golden tan. And tomorrow a strong wind will stir up the sea and the majestic waves are already beating against the coast with the force of a huge beast. The blue sky will turn gray and stormy. And there is no longer that calm happiness of a quiet sea. However, this also has its own charm. This is the beauty of wildness and strength. Even the color of sea water often changes - it is almost blue, then dark blue, then greenish. All its shades cannot even be listed.

How much beauty is hidden in the depths of the sea. Small fish swim in schools among green and yellowish algae. And the sandy bottom is covered with shells, like precious stones. I love collecting seashells. I like to imagine that I am recovering lost treasures from sunken ships. And how many such treasures are still hidden in the depths of the sea?

There is nothing better than a day at sea. You can have fun and swim with your family and friends. And sometimes you just want to walk alone, to feel peace under the sound of the waves.

The sea is incomprehensible, mysterious and clean. It leaves no one indifferent.

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 Trade Center in New York began to circulate on the Internet at the moment the fatal plane approached. The accompanying text reported that the picture was allegedly printed from a film that was found in the ruins of the World Trade Center. The FBI specialists allegedly developed the film and specially published the picture on the Internet in order to find out who this guy is.

Observant people were immediately found who noticed suspicious facts:

The "tourist" is too warmly dressed for the weather on September 11 in New York;
The "tourist" could not be on the roof of the WTC at the moment when the first plane crashed into the building (8.45 am), because the observation deck opened at 9.30;
the plane enters from the wrong side from which it actually flew;
and in general it is a plane of the wrong model;
the angle of incidence of the shadow is incorrect for this time of day;
the font used by the camera to mark the date of the picture is not the one commonly used.

The Tourist of Death was debunked, and seemed to be sent 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 in store for the Witness from Fryazino.

Many were interested in the personality of the person depicted in the original source. The name of the "Tourist of Death" is Peter Guzli, then he was 25 years old and he lived in Budapest. Peter visited the roof of the World Trade Center in New York in November 1997. When the complex was destroyed, Guzli remembered about these pictures, and took up Photoshop. Then he sent the picture to his friends, not knowing how it would all turn out.

2. Afghan girl

In late 1984, photographer Steve McCurry was taken to the Nazir Bagh Afghan refugee camp in Pakistan, where he was allowed to photograph in a girls' classroom at school. Later, he recalled that he immediately noticed Her, but came up last, as he 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 did not think that this photograph would be anything different from many other pictures that I took that day," McCurry said later.

But she was different. In June 1985, the photo appeared on the cover of National Geographic and immediately became a symbol of the Afghan people's struggle for independence. In a little over 20 years since its publication, the photograph "Afghan Girl" has become one of the most recognizable images of this time. The photo was replicated by other magazines, appeared on postcards and posters, on the backs of peace fighters in the form of tattoos, and so on. According to the National Geographic Society of the United States, she became one of the 100 best photographs, and in the late 1990s. appeared on the cover of the "National Geographic" collection of photographs. In 2005, the cover for "Afghan Girl" was ranked in the Top 10 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 firefight between militants and the Israeli military in the Gaza Strip. In the frame were two Palestinians - Jamal al-Dura and his son Mohammed, who were caught in crossfire on one of the streets. 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 captured on film, but the report showed the child's body with comments that he was killed by an Israeli bullet.

The France 2 report received a wide resonance around the world, and the deceased Mohammed al-Dura actually became the symbol of the second intifada. Israel first made a public apology for the death of al-Dura, but then several independent journalistic investigations concluded 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, which blamed the militants for what happened, only in 2007.

4. Famine in Sudan

Kevin Carter received the Pulitzer Prize for his photograph of Famine in the Sudan, taken in early spring 1993. On this day, Carter flew to Sudan on purpose to film scenes of famine in a small village. Tired of filming people who died of hunger, 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 photo of her, but suddenly a vulture vulture landed a few steps away. Very carefully, trying not to frighten off the bird, Kevin chose the best position and took the picture. After that, he waited another twenty minutes, hoping that the bird would spread its wings and give him the opportunity to take a better shot. But the damned bird did not move and, in the end, he spat and drove her away. Meanwhile, the girl apparently gained strength and went - or rather crawled - further. And Kevin sat down by the tree and began to cry. He suddenly felt a terrible desire to hug his daughter ...

5. Loch Ness monster

The Surgeon's Photograph is the most famous photograph of the Loch Ness Monster, and in fact, thanks to this photograph alone, the Loch Ness Madness began. When someone thinks of Nessie, then, without a doubt, this is the photo that comes to mind. The photograph was allegedly taken by physician R. Kenneth Wilson and his wife in 1934 while they were vacationing 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 doctor was prompted to create a fake by a desire to take revenge on the Daily Mail newspaper. The journalist of the publication ridiculed a man named Wetherall, after what the man considered Nessie's footprints on the shore turned out to be the footprints of a hippo. Weverall and his friend and accomplice Wilson decided to humiliate the newspaper with another fake, but even after the photograph took possession of the minds of the public, they did not confess.

6. Self-immolation of a Buddhist monk

The legendary photo 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 photography of the year.

The name of the Buddhist monk who committed a public act of suicide in protest of the oppression of Buddhism was Thich Quang Duc. At that time, the first Vietnamese president, Ngo Dinh Diem, pursued a policy of ousting the Buddhist religion from the country.

At the same time, a 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 was to appear at the indicated place in Saigon. It was reported that a large and historically significant event was about to take place there.

The photographer showed up at the specified location exactly in time, taking a reporter from the New York Times with him. Soon a blue "Austin" appeared on the street, from which a group of monks emerged, among them was the same Thich Quang Duc. He sat quietly on the ground in a lotus position, holding a box of matches. The monks took a can of gasoline and poured it over the body of Thich Quang Duc, then the monk himself lit a match, and soon his body was burning with a bright flame. The most startling fact in this whole story is that during the process of self-immolation, the monk was distinguished by an amazing calmness. He did not 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 self-immolating monk sent a letter to the Vietnamese president, in which he asked to stop the widespread repression of Buddhists, not to detain the monks and give them the right to calmly preach their religion. However, there was no response to the letter. And after this terrible performance of the wife of the president's brother, Madame Nu, was performed on the city streets, she said that she was very upset because she could not see how the monk Thich Kuang Duc was burning, but she would happily "clap her hands "at yet another Buddhist burning.

7. The last Jew of Vinnitsa

The famous photograph of the execution of the last Jew of Ukrainian Vinnitsa in 1941, taken by an officer of the German Einsatzgroup, which was involved in the execution of persons to be exterminated (primarily Jews). The title of the photo was written on the back of the photo.

Vinnitsa was occupied by German troops on July 19, 1941. Part of the Jews living in the city managed to evacuate. The remaining Jewish population was locked up in a 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 Vinnytsia ghetto were destroyed (about 28,000 people). Craftsmen, workers and technicians, whose work was necessary for the German occupation authorities, were left alive.

The question of using Jewish specialists was discussed at a special meeting in Vinnitsa at the beginning of 1942. The participants in the meeting noted that there are five thousand Jews in the city, in their hands "all trades ... they also work in all vital enterprises." The city's police chief said that the presence of Jews in the city worries him very much, "since the building under construction here [Hitler's headquarters] is in danger due to the presence of Jews here." On April 16, 1942, almost all Jews were shot (only 150 Jewish specialists were left alive). The last 150 Jews were shot on August 25, 1942. However, the Germans did not succeed in exterminating every one of the Jews of Vinnitsa - the Jews hiding in the city participated in the citywide underground. Among the underground, there were at least 17 Jews.

8. Unknown rebel

Unknown Rebel (also English Tank Man) is a conventional name by which a man became known who for half an hour alone held back a column of tanks during the riots in Tiananmen Square in June 1989. The most famous photograph of him was taken by Associated Press reporter Jeff Widener from the sixth floor of the Beijing Hotel. It shows a man standing unarmed in front of a Type 59 tank column. This panoramic photo was taken by Stuart Franklin a little earlier, showing 19 tanks of this column.

The footage of a simple Chinese man with a string bag, opposing tanks, flew around the world, becoming a symbol of what has been called "a protest against the tyranny of the totalitarian state." The picture was printed in hundreds of newspapers and magazines around the world, and was featured in TV news. In April 1998, the American magazine "Time" included "The Unknown Rebel" in the list of the 100 most influential people of the 20th century.

International journalist Vsevolod Ovchinnikov, who was at that time in China, considered this photograph to be "perhaps the only genuine shot" of those events, comparing it with the violence captured "shots that went around the world as episodes of the" massacre on Tiananmen Square "" which in reality were the result of telemetry.

In 2013, on the 24th anniversary of the events, a version of the image was circulated on the Internet, in which 4 giant rubber ducks are depicted instead of tanks.

9. The Marlborough Street Fire

On July 22, 1975, Boston Herald journalist Stanley Foreman, hearing reports from firefighters about a fire on Marlborough Street, immediately rushed to the scene. At the site of the fire, the journalist managed to shoot a tragic plot: the firefighters did not have enough seconds to get to the girls in trouble, Diana Bryant and very little Tiara Jones. When the fire escape was already close, the flames burst out. The girls flew down. Diana Bryant died, Tiara Jones survived. Subsequently, Foreman was awarded the Pulitzer Prize, but most importantly, 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 Men are two blacks, Thomas Shipp and Abram Smith. They were arrested on charges of killing a white man and raping his girlfriend. The rape charge was later not confirmed, only murder. But nobody began to understand. A crowd of more than 2,000 people recaptured the arrested from the police (they did not really resist) and hanged them.

11. Banner of Victory in the Reichstag

The world-famous photographs of Yevgeny Khaldei, "The Banner of Victory over the Reichstag," captured the fighters of the 8th Guards Army Alexei Kovalev, Abdulkhakim Ismailov and Leonid Gorichev.

Khaldei, on the instructions of the TASS Photo Chronicle, took photographs on May 2, 1945, when the 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 who met him to help him take photographs. Soon he shot two tapes with them. The banner that Alexei Kovalev is holding in the photograph was brought by the photographer.

In our years, there is only one way to get rich, become famous and go down in history as a photographer - by doing anything but photography. A hundred years ago, you could have become a great photo artist easily, since there were two key prerequisites:

a. photography was a complex, troublesome and little-known craft;

b. Slowly, technologies arose and were introduced that made it possible to reproduce photographs in newspapers and (a little later) in color magazines.

That is, the glorious moment has come when you, having pressed the shutter button, already understood that this frame would be seen by millions. But these millions did not yet know that they could do the same, since there were no digital soap boxes, full automation and photo dumps on the Internet. Well, talent, of course. You have no competition!

Perhaps the middle of the last century should be recognized as the golden era of photography. However, many of the artists on our list belong to other distant and modern eras.

Helmut Newton, Germany, 1920-2004

Slightly more than a great and famous fashion photographer with a very, very independent understanding of what erotica is. He was fiercely demanded by almost all glossy magazines, Vogue, Elle and Playboy in the first place. He died at 84 after crashing into a concrete wall at full speed.

Richard Avedon, USA, 1923-2004

God of black and white portrait, interesting also because delving into his galleries, you will find anyone. The photographs of this genius New York Jew have absolutely everything. They say that Richard took his first picture at the age of nine, when the kid accidentally caught Sergei Rachmaninov through the lens.

Henri Cartier-Bresson, France, 1908-2004

An outstanding photorealist, one of the patriarchs of photo essay and at the same time - an invisible man: he had a filigree talent for being able to remain visible to those whom he photographs. At first he studied to be an artist, where he earned a craving for light surrealism, which was then tangibly imprinted in his photographs.

Sebastian Salgado, Brazil, 1944

The creator of almost fantastic images taken in fact from the real world. Salgado was a photojournalist who was especially attracted to anomalies, misfortunes, poverty and environmental disasters - but even such stories of his are mesmerizing with beauty. In 2014, director Wim Wenders made a film about him entitled "Salt of the Earth" (special prize of the Cannes Film Festival).

William Eugene Smith, USA, 1918-1978

A photojournalist, perhaps famous for everything a photojournalist can become famous for - from canonical military photographs to expressive and touching portraits of great and ordinary people. Below, as an example - frames of a session with Charlie Chaplin for Life magazine.

Guy Bourdin, France, 1928-1991

One of the most copied, imitated photographers in the world. Erotic, surreal. Now - a quarter of a century after his death - it is more and more relevant and modern.

Viji (Arthur Fellig), USA, 1899-1968

An immigrant from Eastern Europe, now - the great classic of street and crime photography. A person managed to come to any incident in New York - be it a fire, a murder or a banal scuffle - faster than other paparazzi and, often, the police. However, in addition to all kinds of emergencies, his photographs show almost all aspects of life in the poorest quarters of the metropolis. Based on his photo, the film noir Naked City (1945) was filmed, Stanley Kubrick studied from his shots, and Ouiji himself is mentioned at the beginning of the comic film Watchmen (2009).

Alexander Rodchenko, USSR, 1891-1956

The pioneer of Soviet design and advertising, Rodchenko, for all this, is a pioneer of constructivism. Expelled from the Union of Artists for deviating from the ideals and style of socialist realism, but, fortunately, it did not come to the camps - he died a natural death at the dawn of the Khrushchev "thaw".

Irwin Penn, USA, 1917-2009

Master of portrait and fashion genre. He is famous for the whole abundance of his own signature pieces - for example, to shoot people in the corner of the room or on all sorts of gray, ascetic backgrounds. He is famous for his catchphrase: "Shooting a cake can also be an art."

Anton Corbein, Netherlands, 1955

The most prominent rock photographer in the world, whose ascent began with iconic photography and video clips for Depeche Mode and U2. His handwriting is easily recognizable - strong defocus and atmospheric noise. Corbain also directed several films: Control (biography of Joy Division frontman), American (with George Clooney) and Most Dangerous Man (based on the novel by Le Carré). If you google the famous photos of Nirvana, Metallica or Tom Waits, chances are that Corbijn's photos will be the first to appear.

Stephen Meisel, USA, 1954

One of the most successful fashion photographers in the world, whose name became especially popular in 1992 after the release of Madonna's photo book "Sex". Considered the discoverer of many catwalk superstars such as Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista or Amber Valletta.

Diana Arbus, USA, 1923-1971

Her real name is Diana Nemerova, and she found her niche in photography by working with the most unattractive nature - freaks, dwarfs, transvestites, imbeciles ... At best, with nudists. In 2006, the biopic Fur was released, starring Nicole Kidman as Diana.

David LaChapelle, USA, 1963

The master of pop photography ("pop" in the good sense of the word) LaChapelle, in particular, shot clips for Britney Spears, Jennifer Lopez and Christina Aguilera, so you will understand his style not only from the photographs.

Marc Ribout, France, (1923-2016)

The author of at least a dozen "prints of the era": you must have seen a million times how a hippie girl brings a daisy to the barrel of a rifle. Ribu has traveled all over the world and is most revered for his portfolios from filming China and Vietnam, although you can also find his scenes from the life of the Soviet Union. Died at the age of 93.

Elliott Erwitt, France, 1928

A Frenchman with Russian roots, famous for his ironic and absurd view of our troubled world, which is very mobile in his still photographs. Not so long ago, he also began exhibiting in galleries under the name André S. Solidor, which is abbreviated as "ass".

Patrick Demarchelier, France / USA, 1943

Still a living classic of fashion photography, which has enriched this genre with a particularly complex sophistication. And at the same time, he lowered the transcendental degree of glamorous oversizedness, which was the norm before him.

Annie Leibovitz, USA, 1949

A master of fairy-tale plots with a very powerful charge of wit, understandable even to simpletons who are far from hyperglamour. Not surprisingly, lesbian Annie started out as a staff photographer for Rolling Stone magazine.
