The Most Famous Photographs Worldwide

Almost two centuries people try to answer this question; is photography art?  The first exhibition of photographs took place On 12 February 1858 in the South Kensington Museum. It was organized by the Photographic Society of London. From that time on some people consider photography art whereas some claim that it is “too literal to compete with works of art” because it is unable to “elevate the imagination”. In any case, photography is spread all over the world and nowadays we can't imagine our lives without it. There are photos that have deeper meaning and massage for humanity. Here they are.

The controversial photo of Starving Child and Vulture by Kevin Carter

The photo was taken in 1993 by South African photojournalist Kevin Carter who traveled to Sudan to photograph the famine. In the image, we can see a collapsed child, with a vulture stalking over her. It caused public anger not only for the terrifying subject but also for the fact that the photographer instead of helping the child took a photo of her. This image won a Pulitzer Prize.

The iconic portrait of Winston Churchill by Yousuf Karsh

The photo was taken in 1941 when Churchill arrived in Ottawa to thank the allies for their assistance. He was unaware that the photograph was going to take his portrait that's why he refused to remove his cigar. That time Yousuf came closer to Churchill and removed the cigar and took his famous photograph. After taking the photo Churchill told Karsh “You can even make a roaring lion stand still to be photographed.”

Dalí Atomicus by Philippe Halsman

There is no photoshop!                                                                                      Both Salvador Dali and Philippe Halsman had a unique sense of style and the result is obvious in this image. It took 26 shots to have this one finally that has a reflection of Dali’s own artwork in it. This is not the only collaboration between these two artists. Halsman created Dali’s painting of a skull using human nude figures. https://shinyloans.com/
