Alfred Eisenstaedt "The father of photojournalism"

Alfred Eisenstaedt
(1898-1995)
Known mostly for his "VJ DAY" photo, 1945

His motto was "keep it simple". 

"Eisenstaedt perfected certain techniques for capturing the spontaneous moment that has given us some of our most enduring photographic images."

His motto to keep things simple, is the reason he was able to capture such rare moments. He didn't fuss, he just kept to the basics.

What I will try to learn from him is to use what is around and not get mixed up in what I do not have.
