Eve Arnold

 Eve Arnold was born April 21, 1912 as Eve Cohen in Philadelphia Pennsylvania. She was one of nine children of a Russian Orthodox family, daughter of immigrants. She was raised and grew up knowing she was expected to study in higher education and choose a career in medicine. While studying she had a job at a Kodak processing plant and this started her interest in photography.

      Eve quit the study of medicine to pursue her interest of photography. Her interest began while working in the Kodak photo-finishing plant. Her education in photography only took her just more than 6 weeks while studying under Alexey Brodovitch who was the art director at Harper’s Bazaar (a popular magazine) at New School for Social Research. In Manhattan she had access to art directors and fashion. She became the first woman to join Magnum Agency in 1957.

 

Eve became close friends with her subjects and most notable Marlyn Monroe who was close with Eve for 10 years. Among other famous portrait friend she held were Joan Crawford and Queen Elizabeth. Eve Arnold was able to gain the trust and respect of her subjects like no other photographer at the time. I feel this photographers claim to fame was indeed 'fame'.

Eve Arnold was high in moral and ethic, possibly stemming from her very first publication. The British Photography Post editor took her words and misconstrued them to fit their racist narrative. Since that Eve was sure to photograph a wide variety of walks in life from immigrants and transexuals to royalty in the social eye.

She provided the world with many publications and was honored with prestigious achievement.

Lyndsey Addario is a unique and relatable photographer, woman, and mother. I will continue to watch her career and works through my life. I do not doubt that she will continue pressing the shutter release until well past the brink of death.
