Tony Vaccaro
Tony Vaccaro was an American who is best known for his photos that were taken in 1944 and 1945 - during the Second World War. After the war he became renowned for his fashion and his lifestyle. Taking photographs during the war was a very tricky job. While in deadly combat he needed dexterous balancin: with his rifle in crooked prone in his arm, he would snap a shot and let the camera drop to the strap around his neck then quickly move on.
Tony took over 10,000 photographs, both as a soldier and a civilian during the WWII and its aftermath.
Some of the negatives were either damaged or destroyed because of the harsh reality of the war. Many of the pictures that did survive have water marks and stains from the fields. Even though these pictures weren't in perfect condition, it showed the reality that the soldiers were going through during that time. The flaws in the image help to capture the reality of a chaotic battlefield.
