PHOTOGRAPHER OF THE MONTH

Alfred Eisenstaedt

This German- American photographer and photojournalist created iconic images in his time and marked the end of the world war II with this photograph where a sailor kisses a nurse passionately...

It was beautiful...hence capturing the V-J day....

Having read the telegraph this pm... I was also captured by his other works which included ballerinas posing together in paris 1930's to swan lake......unfortunately I couldn't find any picture online to share with you.... .

Photographer: Alfred Eisenstaedt
                    Location: V-J Day Times Square August 1945

The lady above is the same as the original one taken by our photographer of the month, but its never really the same or is it?

''Sixty-three years after she and an amorous sailor provided one of the Second World War's iconic images, a former nurse will be reunited in New York with veterans of the conflict''
