- Philippe Halsman was a renowned photographer known for his portraits of celebrities and his innovative approach to photography. Born in Latvia in 1906, he later moved to France and eventually to the United States. Halsman's career took off in the 1940s and 1950s when he became the leading portrait photographer for magazines such as Life.
One of his most famous techniques was the "jumpology" series, where he photographed subjects mid-jump, capturing their spontaneous and uninhibited expressions. This series included iconic images of figures like Salvador Dalí, Marilyn Monroe, and Audrey Hepburn.
Halsman's work went beyond mere portraiture; he aimed to reveal the personality and essence of his subjects through his lens. He was a master of composition and lighting, often incorporating playful elements into his photographs.
In addition to his commercial work, Halsman was a skilled surrealist photographer, collaborating with artists like Dalí on projects that pushed the boundaries of conventional photography.
Throughout his career, Halsman received numerous awards and accolades for his contributions to the art of photography. His work continues to inspire photographers and art enthusiasts worldwide. Philippe Halsman passed away in 1979, but his legacy lives on through his timeless images.

Excelente 👍🇨🇴
Great 👏👏👏
All I see in these photographs, is creativity and photographic genius. No sign of 100MP sensors, 250 point auto focus, iso 56000, or hairy armpit focus mode. I wish all these young ' photographers' of today who are just techno junkies could see these photographs, along the likes of Robert Adams and Raymond Moore to realise what photography is all about.
100% true, but they don't care about that, they prefer showing that they have a 2000$ Leica lens, thinking they are better photograph than someone who have just a canon kit lens :)
@@trimounixavier9148 I have had Leica Ms for longer than I care to remember. In the old times even if someone could afford a Leica he only would have one or at the most two lenses. Leicas were designed to wrok with either 50 or 35. Now look at the circus. $10000 F0.95 lenses and then they complain that the image was not sharp, range finder focusing with an F0.95 lens. I rest my case.
? Who exactly are all these young photographers with 100mp cameras and no one shoots at 56000. Take a chill pill. There are - believe it or not - some great "young photographers" out there. A beyond tedious rant.
@@gab99 This is not a rant. Just because 2% the pool of younf photographers produce photographs of merit does not mean that they are all on the right course. Just browse the Y.T to start. Put in portrait photography in the search panel and then come and tell me if you found out nor not. Hundreds of them, and probably ten folds more who follw them thinking what they do is portrait photography. I told one of them once that there is absolutely no point in using movement on his borrowed 4X5 camera to shoot a simple portarit of his mate or model since the face of the model is prallel to the plane of focus of the camera. He told me that he found that it had worked for him in the past so that is how he uses his 4X5 ' creatively '. I wished him luck. All they do is buy, borrow, procure new cameras and lenses and they think that is it, they have cracked it and equipment equals talent. Just look at the rubbish most of them produce with their Leicas. All of a sudden every one of them is a Leica expert after being a Fuji expert. When they are told that the choice of a high density full frame sensor camera with a manual rangefinder focusing is not exactly the correct one for what they use it for, they all get cocky. Then they complain that their $6000 F1.4 Apo Summicron is not sharp as they though it should be!!! They just don't understand that focusing a F1.4 lens critically is a difficult task even for a modern AF camera with IBIS, never mind a manual rangefinder. There was a reason why most of Leica lenses were F2.8 or at a stretch F2, but no everyone wants a 50mm F1.0 or whatever. All the equipment, but no photographic talent. And no sorry I don't know them nor their names.
