The Golden Age of Photojournalism by Russell Melcher
This large-format illustrated book is about the stories behind the pictures. Entertaining, humorous, but also profound, Russ Melcher describes his path to the perfect photo and his encounters with world celebrities. Text in English and German.Russell Melcher, born in 1931 in the USA but living and travelling in Paris most of his life, was a photographer (from 1953 to 1962) and photo agent (MAGNUM director, etc.) and an important witness of the heyday of visual world exploration. This 'golden age of photojournalism' was characterised by a strong self-image of photographers as authors and storytellers, by high-circulation magazines such as Life, Time Magazine, Paris Match, Spiegel, Stern, etc., and by a readership for whom these reportages represented the keyhole to viewing the world.
