    Alfred Eisenstaedt was a German-born American photographer born in 1898 known for his photojournalism work, especially for Life magazine. He took candid photos of both everyday people and world leaders. Eisenstaedt used a 35-mm Leica camera and Rolleiflex camera to capture candid photos unobtrusively. Some of his most famous photos include a sailor kissing a nurse in Times Square celebrating the end of WWII. Eisenstaedt worked as a freelance photographer and was largely self-taught, finding early influence from photographers like Erich Salomon. He documented important events and people throughout his long career before passing away in 1995.
