Biografia breu
Alfred Eisenstaedt was born into a Jewish family that moved to Berlin in 1906. After serving in the Germany Army during World War I, he began taking photos as a freelancer and had enough success to become a full-time professional photographer by 1929.  Fleeing the Nazis in 1935, Eisenstaedt emigrated to the United States. He achieved international fame as a master photojournalist, largely for his work for Life magazine from 1936 to 1972.

Film orientated but some of the advice is relevant to today's digital shooter. Best though are the wonderful images with which the book is packed. The portraits are especially good.

Alfred Eisenstadt was one of the original photographers for LIFE Magazine. This book collects posed and candid portraits of celebrities from the 1930s to the 1970s. Eisenstadt also for decades kept autograph books which his subjects would sign and write a few comments; these are reproduced here alongside the photographs. A nice concept, but the subjects' handwriting is often so hard to decipher that it's a distraction from the excellent photographs. Among the celebrities portrayed are George Bernard Shaw, Hitler and Mussolini (the word "celebrity" hardly applies here), Marlene Dietrich, Walt Disney, Sinclair Lewis, Helen Hayes, Katharine Hepburn, Mickey Rooney, Tyrone Power, Bette Davis, Shirley Temple, Kate Smith, the Kennedys, Jackie Gleason, Milton Berle, Charlie Chaplin, Robert Frost, Marilyn Monroe, Sophia Loren, and many others, some of whom I had not heard of but were apparently well-known in their times. An excellent collection of photographs by one of the more important and influential photographers of the last century.… (més)
