German-born, American photographer Alfred Eisenstaedt is best known for his iconic V-J Day kiss image in Times Square but his legacy extends far beyond a single image. One of the first photojournalists to favour a small 35mm film camera and natural lighting, Eisenstaedt was a pioneer of a more informal, unposed style of portraiture. Working for Life magazine from 1936 to 1972, he photographed a wide range of subjects around the world, from Winston Churchill, Ernest Hemingway and Marilyn Monroe, to ice-skating waiters in St. Moritz, female Ama divers in Japan, and members of the Greek Presidential Guard getting dressed in Athens. No matter the subject, his photographs were always candid and thus timeless.
