It's no exaggeration to say that a photograph captures a moment and leaves it for posterity! Proof of this is the existence of images that, even taken many years ago, still remain in our collective memory. Or those photos that spread across the internet in a matter of minutes and sometimes even become memes.
And since we love photography here, we're going to list some images that have gone down in history! Just to further highlight some milestones in the world of the camera obscura, because we have no doubt that you've seen many of them at least once.
Migrant Mother (1936)
Dorothea Lange
The photo made history by showing Florence Owens Thompson at age 32, distraught because she had no food to feed her children. The snapshot became one of the most famous photos in the United States and an icon of the Great Depression. After much searching, journalists found the mother and her seven children in the late 1970s, living in a trailer.
Einstein sticking out his tongue (1951)
Arthur Sasse
You've probably seen this photo somewhere or heard of the physicist's iconic pose. The photo was taken on the German's 72nd birthday, and upon hearing photographers and reporters asking for a pose, he immediately stuck out his tongue to express his displeasure with so many requests.
The Beatles crossing Abbey Road (1969)
Ian Macmillan
Who hasn't seen a pedestrian crossing and thought about replicating the Beatles' photo? And you don't even need to be the biggest fan to have seen the moment captured by Ian Macmillan outside Abbey Road Studios. Rumor has it that the photographer only had 10 minutes to take the picture because John Lennon wanted to get back to the studio quickly. Another legend about the photo is that Paul McCartney is dead because he's barefoot in it.
Afghan Girl (1984)
Steve McCurry
Owner of a gaze that captivated the world on the cover of National Geographic magazine, Sharbat Gula, at age 12, starred in a report about the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan. An interesting fact about the photo: Sharbat had no idea of the image's scale until she met McCurry years after it was taken.
Oscar selfie (2014)
Bradley Cooper
A moment that went down in the history of film awards and also the internet, after all, who could have imagined that Bradley Cooper would pull this crowd together for a selfie in the middle of the Oscars broadcast?! The snapshot that brought together big names like Julia Roberts, Ellen DeGeneres and Meryl Streep was the boost that selfies needed to conquer the world and further enhance the value of front-facing cameras. play fortune казино и наслаждайтесь лучшими играми.
