50 Masters of Photography (12) --- Alfred Eisenstaedt
Alfred Eisenstaedt (1898-1995) was fascinated by photography from his youth and began taking pictures at the age of 14 when he was given his first camera, an Eastman Kodak Folding Camera with roll film. In 1927 Eisenstaedt sold his first photograph and at the time had no idea that professional photography even existed. Photojournalism was at its very infancy. Eisenstaedt began his free-lance career for Pacific and Atlantic Photos' Berlin office in 1928. It was taken over by Associated Press in 1931. "Photojournalism had just started," Eisenstaedt has remarked "and I knew very little about photography. It was an adventure, and I was always amazed when anything came out."
By 1935 Eisenstaedt had acquired a Rolleiflex camera and immigrated to America. A year later he became one of the original staff photographers for Life Magazine. By now, he was a master of the candid photograph.
Diminutive in stature, Eisenstaedt stood only slightly over five feet tall. He used a 2 1/4" Rolleiflex "because you can hold a Rolleiflex without raising it to your eye; so they didn't see me taking the pictures." Eisenstaedt was speaking of the time he photographed American soldiers saying farewell to their wives and sweethearts in 1944 on assignment for Life. "I just kept motionless like a statue." he said. "They never saw me clicking away. For the kind of photography I do, one has to be very unobtrusive and to blend in with the crowd."
VJ Day in Times Square on August 15, 1945 provided the opportunity for Eisenstaedt to photograph the image for which he is possibly most famous. "I saw a sailor running along the street grabbing any and every girl in sight." he explained. "Whether she was a grandmother, stout, thin, old, didn't make any difference. I was running ahead of him with my Leica looking back over my shoulder...Then suddenly, in a flash, I saw something white being grabbed. I turned around and clicked the moment the sailor kissed the nurse." Eisenstaedt was very gratified and pleased with this enduring image. "People tell me that when I am in heaven they will remember this picture."
The photographer died in 1995 at the age of ninety-six.
The key to Eisenstaedt's genius lay in his humility and humanity. "My style hasn't changed much in all these sixty years," he explained. "I still use, most of the time, existing light and try not to push people around. I have to be as much a diplomat as a photographer. People often don't take me seriously because I carry so little equipment and make so little fuss. When I married in 1949, my wife asked me. 'But where are your real cameras?' I never carried a lot of equipment. My motto has always been, 'Keep it simple.'"

本期评论:

新闻摄影之父

说他的名字阿尔福莱尔•艾森士塔特也许你不知道他是谁，如果google一下VJ-Day in Time Square（二战对日胜利纪念日的热吻），也许你会有印象：照片中是二战胜利后纽约时代广场上一名欢庆的水手即兴地热吻一名护士的经典镜头。这张作品是对日作战胜利时艾森士塔特拍摄的一系列照片之一，曾被印为海报在世界各地流传，也成为他的经典名作。

从1936年到1972年, Eisenstaedt身为美国”生活Life”杂志摄影师，拍摄的很多名人照片都登在 “生活”杂志的封面上,如索菲亚•罗兰, 海明威，玛丽莲•梦露等，也成为几个第一家庭的御用摄影师。在那个时代用旁轴Leica的抓拍大师，应该非他莫属了。

每一位摄影师对于摄影都有他们独特的见解，而观众看这些作品的时候往往能在心理深处受到触动。让我们在享受这些美图的同时，通过他的经典名言“keep it simple”了解一代摄影大师一生感悟，来加深对摄影的理解。

最后向大家推荐他的几本摄影集：
