In 1936 he joined Life magazine as one of its earliest staff photographers (Alfred Eisenstaedt, Margaret Bourke-White, Thomas McAvoy and Peter Stackpole were the originals). He became a pioneering photojournalist and took many renowned photographs during and after the Second World War. Image copyright © The Estate of Carl Mydans. [25934-2-150]
