About:

Alfred Eisenstaedt (1898–1995) was a German-born American photojournalist best known for his work with Life magazine. Active from the 1930s through the 1990s, he captured some of the most iconic images of the 20th century, including the famous “V-J Day in Times Square.” Eisenstaedt's style focused on candid, human-centered moments, using natural light and 35mm Leica cameras to produce spontaneous, emotionally resonant images. His work documents major figures and cultural moments across politics, the arts, and global history.
