When you think of some of the most iconic images of the greatest personalities of the twentieth century, ones of powerful politicians, charming actors and actresses, artists, and so on, you’d be surprised that they were taken by a select few photographers. One of those select few was Philippe Halsman, a Latvian-born photographer who was considered to be one of the best portraitists in the entire world. And as you’ll learn, he’s the author of many well-known portraits, some of which the celebrities are remembered by, like his portrait of John. F. Kennedy, Salvador Dali, Alfred Hitchcock, Audrey Hepburn, and many, many more. Let’s not waste our breath any more and let’s jump to the pictures, which might leave you breathless.
