In 1933 he made what is in my opinion one of his best image. While still living in Germany, he photographed rising political figures of his country. But he had a portfolio much larger than that one famous image. Most people know his work through the Times Square photo when the sailer kissed the nurse (he also, incidentally, makes a character cameo during the opening credits to the Watchmen film). An avid photographer while growing up, he began freelancing after the war and would eventually begin working for the AP. He was born in Germany and fought for that country during WWI. One photographer I like to point out is Alfred Eisenstaedt. But no matter which, the utmost importance is learning how to deal with the inherent fears. Other fields are the interpersonal struggle of politics or etc. Some photography fields require photographers to step into war zones. Luckily, there have been numerous instances of facing fear in the history of photography. With a project like this, context is helpful. They had to identify two things, either physical or emotional, and come up with a way to use the photographic process to ideally overcome the fear. Through the use of self-reflection in a class project called “Facing Fear,” I used this as an opportunity to get former students to think about the camera on a personal level. There’s no limit to our personal obstacles. It could be stage fright, fear of spiders, being alone, being in crowds, certain people, or anything else. We all have one thing(s) or another that may, or may not, hold us back from our goals.
