"Alfred Eisenstaedt: People," published in 1973, is a vivid collection that showcases the pioneering photojournalism of Alfred Eisenstaedt, a key figure in capturing the human condition. This book compiles some of Eisenstaedt’s most memorable works, highlighting his ability to catch fleeting, candid moments that reveal profound truths about their subjects. Known for his work with Life magazine, Eisenstaedt's photographs in this collection range from spontaneous shots of ordinary people to intimate portraits of prominent figures, demonstrating his versatile style and pioneering use of the candid photography technique. His images are more than just visual records; they are poignant narratives that offer insights into the emotions and stories of the people he photographed. This publication reflects Eisenstaedt’s significant contribution to photojournalism and his lasting impact on the way we see the world. This book is part of the Photography Library of Chris Steele-Perkins, reflecting his broad interest in and commitment to the field of photojournalism, similar to that of Alfred Eisenstaedt. Steele-Perkins, a prominent member of Magnum Photos, has himself made substantial contributions to documentary photography, focusing particularly on social issues within Britain and the developing world. His inclusion of Eisenstaedt's work in his personal library underscores an appreciation for photography that captures the essence of human experience with empathy and narrative depth. Through his role in Magnum, Steele-Perkins has not only developed his thematic and geographic focus but also continued the tradition of engaging with the world through the lens, much like Eisenstaedt. This connection highlights a shared lineage of capturing impactful, historic moments and personal stories through photography, uniting past and contemporary practices within the field. ; Folio.
