I don't know when it happened, but some time ago I developed a real fascination and appreciation for photojournalism, so I couldn't help myself from buying this book. This book showcases some of the best work from almost all photographers for LIFE magazine. The pictures range from the 1930s to the most recent being sometime around the year 2000.
There are so many beautiful images in here covering everything from war to politics to celebrities and people's ordinary lives. Some of the most famous photographs in the world are here, from Milton Greene's photos of Marilyn Monroe to Alfred Eisenstaedt's picture of the soldier and nurse kissing in Times Square and Philippe Halsman's photographs of Dalí. What's more, the layout is simple with the photographs being left to speak for themselves and almost all of the photographs are given their own individual pages so you can see them clearly.

This is absolutely an inspiring book, especial for people interested and passionate about visual art. The photography in it is stunning and the shots captured are intriguing and a great history lesson in one picture. The addition of a small biography of each photographer next to the picture is great because it allows the reader to get an idea of who is behind the art and their background stories. This is one of my go to books for photographic inspiration; I am into photography and I am pursuing a career in film. Such a great book and entertaining to look through.
