Why did Life magazine choose Eugene Smith?

/kloc-in the summer of 0/950, Eugene Smith was commissioned by Life magazine to shoot in Spain.

At that time, Spain was under Franco's regime, and Smith chose Dirito Sha, a rural town with simple folk customs and brutal management, as the theme. When the Spanish secret police expelled Eugene Smith, this group of reports had been filmed and published in Life magazine on April 9th, 195 1.

The publication and reporting of this group of photos greatly enriched and influenced the photo reporting methods of journals represented by Life magazine, and became a new mode for them to train photographers, because Eugene Smith never let people lose hope while using photos to convey the power of compassion, and he himself did not want to hide this ideal spirit in order to show his calmness and depth.
