Sally Soames UK 1937-2019
Sally Soames (...) was one of a handful of female photographers who came to prominence in the heyday of Fleet Street.
She shot only in black and white, believing that it possessed “a greater visual impact than colour”, and preferred working with natural light.
Like her direct contemporary Don McCullin, who shared those inclinations, she got her first assignment at the Observer and then made her name at the Sunday Times.

John Shearer, Who Photographed Tumultuous 1960s, Dies at 72 Mr. Shearer joined the staff of Look magazine at the age of 20, becoming one of the few black photographers at a major national publication. NYT June 27, 2019
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/27/
Mr. Shearer was more than a photojournalist:
He made animated films, worked in publishing, taught at the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism and collaborated with his father on a children’s book series about a young black detective, Billy Jo Jive.
It became the basis of an animated feature for “Sesame Street.”
He also wrote books for young readers, like “I Wish I Had an Afro” (1970), about a poor black family living in the midst of wealth.
But the public knew him best through his pictures.
A few years after his photo of the Kennedy funeral appeared, Mr. Shearer joined the staff of Look.
At 20 he was the magazine’s second-youngest staff photographer; the youngest had been the director Stanley Kubrick, who was 18 when he was hired in the mid-1940s.
At the time, Mr. Shearer was one of the few black photographers at a major publication.
His race gave him a different sensibility in seeing his subjects and, some said, a greater sense of responsibility in how he portrayed them.

John Godfrey Morris USA 1916-2017
John Morris may be an avowed pacifist, but his career has been largely defined by war.
He was born during WWl, was Robert Capa’s photo editor at Life magazine during WWll and was the first to put graphic photos of the Vietnam War on the New York Times front page.
He is widely considered to be one of the most important editors in the history of photography.

Hikaru “Carl” Iwasaki USA 1923-2016
Louis Stettner USA 1922-2016
photographer who explored the streets of the two cities he called his “spiritual mothers,” New York and Paris, recording the daily lives of ordinary people
(...)
Mr. Stettner, a New Yorker, was a product of the Photo League and its emphasis on socially conscious, documentary work, exemplified by members and supporters like Weegee, and Robert Frank.
“I have never been interested in photographs based solely on aesthetics, divorced from reality,” he wrote in his photo collection “Wisdom Cries Out in the Streets,” published in 1999.
“I also doubt very much whether this is possible.”
While living in Paris after World War II, he also found inspiration in a new wave of French photographers, including Robert Doisneau, Brassaï and Henri Cartier-Bresson, whose outlook seemed to dovetail with the league’s.
He was particularly taken with Brassaï.
“Brassaï showed me that it was possible to find something significant in photographing subjects in everyday life doing ordinary things by interpreting them in your own way and with your own personal vision,” Mr. Stettner told The Financial Times in June. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/15/arts/design/louis-stettner-dead.html

Bob Fitch, Photojournalist of Civil Rights Era, Dies at 76 NYT By SAM ROBERTS MAY 3, 2016
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/04/
self-taught photojournalist whose images chronicled America’s deep-seated ambivalence over civil rights and illustrated the passion underscoring other protest movements since the 1960s
(...)
“Photojournalism seduced me,” Mr. Fitch wrote on his website.
“It was my way to support the organizing for social justice that was transforming history, our lives and future.”
Mr. Fitch, a preacher’s son who became an ordained minister himself, was transformed from a Berkeley, Calif., teenager who rejected religious ritual into an instrument of social justice by sundry catalysts: his family’s fundamental Christian ethos, the writing of James Baldwin and the music of Pete Seeger.
He photographed the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and other prominent black civil rights figures as the official chronicler of the organization they founded, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference;
Dorothy Day of the Catholic Workers Movement;
Cesar Chavez of the United Farm Workers (his photo was the prototype for a 2002 postage stamp), and the Jesuit priests and their followers who opposed the draft and the war in Vietnam.

Saul Leiter USA 1923-2013
New York at midcentury was a monochrome town, or so its best-known documentarians would have us believe.
But where eminent photographers like Weegee, Diane Arbus and Richard Avedon captured the city most often in clangorous, sharp-edged black and white, Saul Leiter saw it as a quiet polychrome symphony — the glow of neon, the halos of stoplights, the golden blur of taxis — a visual music that few of his contemporaries seemed inclined to hear.
One of the first professionals to photograph New York City regularly in color, Mr. Leiter (...) was among the foremost art photographers of his time, despite the fact that his work was practically unknown to the general public.
Of the tens of thousands of images he shot — many now esteemed as among the finest examples of street photography in the world — most remain unprinted.

(...)
Mr. Eppridge and his camera had been eyewitnesses elsewhere.
He photographed Latin American revolutions, the Woodstock music festival, the civil rights movement.
After three civil rights workers were killed by the Ku Klux Klan in Mississippi in 1964, he and a reporter lived with the family of one of the victims, James Chaney, for a day or two.

Ozzie Sweet (born Oscar Cowan) 1918-2013
At the end of World War II, Ozzie Sweet’s picture of a friend posed as a German soldier surrendering appeared on the cover of Newsweek — “the magazine of news significance,” as it billed itself then.
Not a stratagem that would pass muster in contemporary journalism, but Mr. Sweet, who had apprenticed to the Mount Rushmore sculptor Gutzon Borglum, appeared in a Cecil B. DeMille film and helped create promotional ads for the United States Army, found the art in photography to be in creating an image, not capturing one.
He considered himself not a news photographer but a photographic illustrator, and like the work of the painter Norman Rockwell, whom he claimed as an influence, his signature images from the 1940s through the 1950s and into the 1960s, many in the fierce hues of increasingly popular color film that emulated the emergent Technicolor palate of American movies, helped define — visually, anyway — an era.
Mr. Sweet (...) took photographs that appeared on an estimated 1,800 magazine covers.

David Farrell (...) was known primarily for his photographic portraits of the most prominent artists, actors, authors and, particularly, musicians of his time.
These ranged from classical performers such as Yehudi Menuhin, Ravi Shankar and Jacqueline du Pré to Louis Armstrong, the Beatles and the Rolling Stones.
He would take his portable darkroom with him to filming locations, where he photographed Albert Finney, Julie Christie, Laurence Olivier and Ralph Richardson, among others.
His main body of work dates from the mid-1950s to the 1980s, by which time he was working primarily in cinema, but he continued with his photography well into the digital age. http://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2013/feb/11/david-farrell

Jerome Liebling USA 1924-2011
(his) subtly powerful pictures and the lessons he drew from them influenced a generation of socially minded photographers and documentary filmmakers
(...)
Mr. Liebling was among a wave of pioneering photographers — including Walker Evans, and Gordon Parks — who took to the streets of New York in the 1930s and ’40s to make art by turning their cameras onto corners of urban life that had mostly been ignored by the photographers before them.
His experience as a child of the Depression growing up in Brooklyn, Mr. Liebling said, formed an impulse throughout his career to “figure out where the pain was, to show things that people wouldn’t see unless I was showing them.”
Over a half-century much of his work depicted painful subjects far too directly for magazines or newspapers to show them: mental patients in state hospitals, cadavers used by New York medical students, blood-drenched workers at a Minnesota slaughterhouse.

Fred McDarrah USA 1926-2007
The cameras that Fred W. McDarrah carried — a boxy old Rolleicord, and later a battered 35-millimeter Nikon S2 — weren’t special.
Nor was he, not in his own mind.
He was a bit of a square, he admitted, and an unlikely chronicler of the bohemian world he saw coming into view in Greenwich Village in the mid-1950s.
What McDarrah (1926-2007) had was a drive to document, in galleries and lofts and cafes and bars, the painters, musicians, critics, bookstore owners and Beat-era poets and writers he sensed were making a new world, one that would spark the counterculture of the 1960s.
“I was a groupie at heart,” he wrote later.
“I wanted to be part of the action.
My camera was my diary, my ticket of admission, my way of remembering, preserving, proving that I had been there when it all happened.”
McDarrah was the first staff photographer at The Village Voice, America’s Ur-alternative weekly, founded in 1955.
He’d been roommates with Dan Wolf, one of the paper’s founders.
Wolf had seen the kinetic photographs McDarrah was taking when he wasn’t at his day job in advertising on Madison Avenue.
McDarrah would go on to work for The Voice for 50 years.

Starting in the early 1960s, Withers had spent nearly two decades as a paid informant of the F.B.I., feeding its agents information about the activists he photographed.
He not only informed; he took requests.
At one anti-Vietnam War march, he was asked to photograph all of the 30-odd protesters, taking special care to catch all their faces, and he turned 80 8-by-10 prints over to his F.B.I. contact.
On occasion, he sold his work to a local paper, then gave copies to the bureau.

George Silk NZ 1916-2004
longtime Life magazine photographer known for images that captured both the intimate drama of war and the raw dynamism of sport
(...)
George Silk was born Nov. 17, 1916, in Levin, New Zealand.
An amateur photographer, he went to work in a camera shop at 16.
When the war began, in 1939, he was hired as a combat photographer for the Australian Ministry of Information, assigned to follow Australian troops through North Africa, Greece and New Guinea.
In Libya with the Desert Rats of Tobruk, Mr. Silk was captured by Field Marshal Erwin Rommel's forces.
He escaped 10 days later.
In New Guinea, he took what is probably his most famous photograph, in December 1942.
The photo shows a blinded Australian soldier, barefoot, eyes bandaged, being led through the remote countryside by a traditionally clad tribesman.
The image got Mr. Silk hired at Life the next year.
For Life, Mr. Silk photographed Allied forces in Europe and, at the end of the war, he commandeered a B-29 to take aerial photos of a devastated Japan.
In 1946, he shot a photo essay on famine in China's Hunan Province.
For the rest of his career, Mr. Silk worked primarily as a sports photographer, drawing on the passion for the outdoors acquired as a boy in New Zealand.
Mr. Silk was fascinated by motion, and sought innovative ways to snare its rush in a still photograph.
It was this desire that caused him sometimes to separate himself from his camera, for example, hooking it up to a cable and placing it in a normally inaccessible spot, like the center of a football field just before kickoff.
For other images, Mr. Silk adapted a racetrack's photo-finish camera to catch the fluid blur of an athlete in motion.
One notable picture, taken at the 1960 Olympic trials in Palo Alto, Calif., shows an athlete who appears to be stretched widthwise, attenuated to unnatural dimensions.
Motion, Mr. Silk found, lay in the distortion. http://www.nytimes.com/2004/10/28/arts/28silk.html

James "Spider" Martin USA 1939-2003
James Martin, nicknamed Spider for his wiry 5-foot-2 frame, grew up in Hueytown, Ala., a Southern white boy who got shivers when “Dixie” played at football games, he later wrote.
He began working for The Birmingham News in 1964.
In February 1965, he was sent to Marion, Ala., to cover the shooting of the civil rights activist Jimmie Lee Jackson by state troopers, a dangerous assignment no senior colleague wanted, he later recalled.
The plan for a march to Montgomery began to take shape, and he found himself in Selma on March 7.
Mr. Martin’s images of Bloody Sunday helped stir public outrage (and landed him a bonus, according to documents in the archive, despite what Mr. Martin later described as the reluctance of The News to put them on the front page).

In 1955, she became Magnum's first full female member.

Wright Morris ('s) taut American Gothic novels, stories, essays and photographs plumbed the mysteries of the stark Nebraska landscape and who was often called one of the nation's most unrecognized recognized writers
(...)
a picaresque childhood and comic overseas misadventures, Mr. Morris wrote 33 books, including 19 novels, three memoirs, four books of essays, two collections of short stories and five books of annotated photographs.
His work was widely praised and honored with literary awards, but many admirers felt that in the end, Mr. Morris took literature more seriously than it took him.
'No book of mine can be read under a hair dryer, while bolting a hamburger or half-watching TV,'' he said in 1963, acknowledging his reputation as a sophisticated writer on unsophisticated subjects.

Tōyō Miyatake / 宮武東洋1 JAP / USA 1896-1979

Before World War II, Miyatake had a photo studio in Los Angeles' Little Tokyo.
When he learned he would be interned at Manzanar, he asked a carpenter to build him a wooden box with a hole carved out at one end to accommodate a lens.
He turned this box into a makeshift camera that he snuck around the camp, as his grandson Alan Miyatake explains in the video below, which is featured in the exhibit.
Fearful of being discovered, Miyatake at first only took pictures at dusk or dawn, usually without people in them.
Camp director Merritt eventually caught Miyatake, but instead of punishing him, allowed him to take pictures openly.
Miyatake later became the camp's official photographer.

Ms. Palfi set out to document racism and segregation in Irwinton, Ga., the small town where Caleb Hill, in the first reported lynching of 1949, was murdered.

Mary Bayard Morgan Wootten USA 1875-1959
Though known as a pictorialist (more of an art photographer than a straightforward documentarian), Ms. Wootten strayed from the unspoken rules set by Alfred Stieglitz, the father of pictorialism, in the early 20th century.
Unlike Mr. Stieglitz, who was way up north in New York, Ms. Wootten did not oppose commercial photography.
In fact, financial gain, believe it or not, was the chief reason she entered the industry, where she nonetheless notched several firsts in her career.

Pierre P. Pullis USA 1869-1942
Work on New York’s first subway began in 1900, running from City Hall up to Grand Central, across to Times Square, and then up the West Side on Broadway.
The contractor, the Rapid Transit Subway Construction Company, embarked on not only a construction project of unprecedented scope, but also a program of photographic documentation without precursor.
(...)
Pierre P. Pullis and other photographers, using cameras with 8-by-10-inch glass negatives, were assigned to record the progress of construction as well as every dislodged flagstone, every cracked brick, every odd building and anything that smelled like a possible lawsuit.

Cherry Kearton UK 1871-1940
and Cherry Kearton, working in the 1890s, were possibly the world's first professional wildlife photographers.
Starting at home in the village of Thwaite in north Yorkshire with a cheap box camera, they managed to capture some of the finest early pictures of birds in their nests, insects, and mammals.
But having no telephoto lenses or fast film, they had to lug around massive plate glass cameras and devise ever more bizarre ways to get close to their shy quarries.

George Edward Anderson USA 1860-1928
George Edward Anderson differed from many of the world's great documentary photographers in that he served for four years as a bishop of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and spent a stretch as a missionary in England.
But overall he shared the hallmark characteristics: toiling in obscurity, strained family life, unwavering vision and a poverty-inducing obsession for his subject and the act of photographing.
Photography came of age at the same time as Mormonism — and they moved west together.
Anderson's mentor, Charles Roscoe Savage, settled in Utah a little ahead of the arrival of William Henry Jackson and the other Western survey photographers.

John Griffith "Jack" London USA 1876-1916
(born John Griffith Chaney)
Jack London (...) was famous for novels, like the “The Call of the Wild,” which were based on his adventures, trekking through the Klondike or sailing the South Pacific.
He was the archetype of the macho writer — before Ernest Hemingway — having been, among other things, a Socialist, a hobo, a sailor, a war correspondent and an oyster pirate.
(...)
Although he went on to become a prolific writer, he was also an avid photographer.
