It blows my mind how people on this website just choose to ignore the fact that thousands of refugees have died on the European coast and the ones who haven’t are now being treated in a way no human should be treated, dealing with racism and islamophobia on a daily basis, not to mention the ones who stayed in their home country and are now getting tortured and killed by ISIS. But, hey, some lives mean more than others right?
The Photographers Behind Some of the Most Iconic Images of Our Time
Over the course of history, certain iconic photographs have become an integral part of our collective, cultural memory. Steve McCurry’s “Afghan Girl,” Jeff Widener’s “Tank Man,” and Nick Ut’s “Napalm Attack in Vietnam” are only some of the images that have left a lasting mark as the great photographs of our time. Tim Mantoani aims to immortalize those legendary shots and the brilliant individuals behind them in the ambitious series Behind Photographs, which depicts renowned photographers posing with their most well known images.
“Most of my photos are grounded in people, I look for the unguarded moment, the essential soul peeking out, experience etched on a person’s face.” - Steve McCurry
