TIME magazine is celebrating the birth of photography and photojournalism with a 'multimedia experience' telling the stories behind 100 of history's most influential images. The project goes live at time.com/photos on November 17, but you can get a preview by way of the trailer above. A hardcover book is also available.
Are there any photos you don't see in the trailer that you expect to see in the top 100? Let us know in the comments.
Not sure why they are using all that video to sell still pictures. A good argument could be made that grabbing a frame out of a video is not photography aat all. Certainly everyone remembers the newsreel footage of the burning of the Hindenberg and nobody was ever influenced by the cobbled together still frame that ended up on the cover of Time.
Nothing unexpected. Not seen in the trailer, but perhaps the book will include some photos from the early missions to Mars and Jupiter, those were truly amazing and opened up a whole new era.
I can not believe that selfie after the Beatles would be considered remotely influential, especially compared to so many other iconic images (and I have no idea who they are).
I hope Max Dupain's 'Sunbaker' is in the top 100; it has to be the most iconic image from Australia (and I am lucky enough to have a signed copy!)
