1: Alfred Eisenstaedt
The first in the series of six conversations with some of the grand old master photographers.
Alfred Eisenstaedt has been called the father of photo-journalism, the man who invented the candid camera. During 60 years of photographic life, first in Germany, later in America, he has photographed more famous people than any other photographer.
No fewer than 90 covers of Life Magazine have carried his pictures. But the cold statistics say little about the formidable record of his work. It is a testimony of events and people who shaped much of our present life.
He talks to Peter Adam in his New York office.
A priceless archive of interviews

Delightfully instructive
