The five most famous photos in the world, which story do you know?

Behind a photo, there is often an unknown story. Maybe you will marvel at the scenery in the film, maybe you will be moved by the scene in the photo, but what the photographer really wants to express is the emotion contained in it. A hug, a child and a frown seem nothing, but the story behind them is little known.

Victory Day in Times Square was filmed in Times Square in new york after World War II. In ecstasy, the marine in the photo grabbed the strange nurse beside him and kissed her enthusiastically. In 2005, Greta Friedman, the heroine in the photo, recalled this incident to the American Veterans History Project. She said that she was suddenly caught by a sailor, and she was not sure if it was a kiss, because to some extent, it was just a way to celebrate. In 20 16, 92-year-old Friedman died of pneumonia and was buried in Arlington National Cemetery.

Gun is one of the representative works of photographer William Crane. There are two little boys in the photo, one is radical and tough, and the other is introverted and kind. The radical little boy pointed a gun at William Klein with a ferocious face, as if to shoot him in the next second, but the little boy next to him looked at him tenderly, as if to persuade him to calm down again. William Klein said that this photo is his self-portrait, and two little boys with diametrically opposite expressions symbolize two sides of his personality.

The hungry Sudan was the winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Story Photography in 1994. The content of the photo looks simple. A Sudanese girl knelt with hunger, and a vulture stood behind her. Photographer kevin carter was attacked by public opinion after winning the prize, and people accused him of being a cold-blooded butcher. In order to win the prize in perdition, he is simply a scum. Finally, one day two months after winning the prize, kevin carter committed suicide by carbon monoxide poisoning in a private car. As the saying goes, "No snowflake is innocent in an avalanche", and his death is also due to the excitement of the crowd.

Angry Churchill is Churchill's most famous portrait. During World War II, the Canadian photographer Yusef Cash suddenly bullied Churchill and took Churchill's cigar in order to capture his anger. Suddenly, Churchill's eyes opened wide, revealing unprecedented anger, and this scene happened to be captured by the well-prepared Cash. After that, "Angry Churchill" became the most adopted photographic work in the history of photography, and also became a propaganda poster for Britain's counterattack against Germany.

Bliss, the default desktop wallpaper of Windows XP, I believe many friends have a deep memory of it. The photo was taken in the south of Sonoma Valley in 1996. Its name comes from rolling green hills, blue sky and cascading white clouds. Photographer O'Rear used to work in Cobis, a private photo storage company owned by Bill Gates, and his photos also inspired the advertising campaign of Microsoft XP system, which cost $200 million. It is the second most expensive photo in the world, and it is also the most recognized photo in the world. About 654.38+08 billion people around the world recognize it.
