ALFRED EISENSTAEDT
Alfred Eisenstaedt is a brilliant photographer who is best known for his work in the Times and LIFE. Alfred started working for Time in the 1930's and continued through the 60's.
He was able to capture real life images and bring a certain emotional and vocal reaction to his photography. He, along with four other photographers, produced photos for Time magazine that would incorporate what the magazine was headlining at the time and the articles in which the magazine would hold.
Alfred has won many awards over the years including the National Medal of the Arts, the International Understanding Award for Outstanding Achievement, the Photographic Society of America Achievement Award, and Photographer of the Year.
Along with working as a full time photographer, Alfred also wrote many books. As an aspiring photographer and writer, I have officially labeled this guy as one of my favorite photographers of this time period. I also really love the vintage feel of his photography (seeing as it was composed between the 30's and 60's) and can really relate to a lot of his compositions.

Little interesting fact: He was one of Marilyn Manroe's photographers.
