Alfred Eisenstaedt (December 6, 1898 – August 24, 1995) was a German-American photographer and journalist. He is renowned for his candid photographs, which he made using different models of a 35mm Leica rangefinder camera.Eisenstaedt is best known for his photo V-J Day in Times Square, which features an American sailor kissing a young woman in the street as people laugh and smile in the background. His photos of news events and celebrities appeared on ninety Life covers. Some of those celebs include Sophia Loren, Dagmar, and Ernest Hemingway.
Eisenstaedt even photographed a meeting between Hitler and Mussolini in Italy, and Joseph Goebbels at the League of Nations in Geneva. Eisenstaedt said that at first, Goebbels was friendly, he was clearly disgusted when he discovered that Alfred was Jewish.
Alfred Eisenstaedt's photography had emotion (I mean, all you have to do is look at the Einstein picture and you can see it all). It was moving.
