A look at the work and life of W Eugene Smith, one of the most brilliant photojournalists of the mid-20th century, by Ted Forbes.
W Eugene Smith was an American Photojournalist, probably one of the most brilliant of the mid-20th century. Renowned for the dedication he devoted to each project and his uncompromising professional standards, Smith developed the photo essay into a sophisticated visual form. Perhaps best known for his vivid World War II photographs, contributions to LIFE magazine and the New York Times. He was a complex individual, but also one of the most prolific photographers ever leaving a legacy of hundreds of thousands of photos.
