- William Eugene Smith (December 30, 1918 - October 15, 1978) was an American photojournalist. He has been described as "perhaps the single most important American photographer in the development of the editorial photo essay." His major photo essays include World War II photographs, the visual stories of an American country doctor and a nurse midwife, the clinic of Albert Schweitzer in French Equatorial Africa, the city of Pittsburgh, and the pollution which damaged the health of the residents of Minamata in Japan. His 1948 series, Country Doctor, photographed for Life, is now recognized as "the first extended editorial photo story".

Absolutely absolutely fantastic photograph, extremely talented, and extremely difficult to work with. He almost single handed bankrupted Magnum.
I have always loved his work, fell like I have only seen 10 % of it , Eugene Smith was a photographic genius , I am in awe of his work
Unique for his time. There were only a few photographers doing what he did and only a few who were as good. Every picture he made told a story and each had its own place in the history of photography. It’s a pleasure to see the diversity of his work. Well done for putting this collection together.
Some of his greatest work was done for Life Magazine.
Brand new channel, and my new favorite. Don't know if the channel host reads comments... suggested photographers: André Kertész, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Ernst Haas.
These photos should be in every world history textbook.
History narratives try to give factual explanations for why events transpired. However, much of what man does is based more on feelings and is not so rational. Photos like these express what simply cannot be explained in words to minds seeking reason.
My photographic hero...
One of my earliest Photo Hero’s unfortunately very Troubled Individual!! 🫣
No words needed.
Incredibly good! It’s what photography is all about!
fantastic and inspiational,.. and here am i, photographing families on bridges and such,.... sigh....
Extraordinary photographer....if only some books were readily available.
"Let Truth Be The Prejudice W. Eugene Smith: His Life And Photographs" is around between £13 up to about £81 second hand . It's a pretty inclusive and very readable, following from his youth to his death & and covers most of his projects, though Smith's work was massive and is still being uncovered where funding allows. hope that helps.
Thanks for this series.
Fabulous video and images!
Thank you for this channel.
I doubt there has been a greater documentary photographer than Smith
Fantastic!
Excellent!
Can you do Alfred Eisenstaedt next?
He is one of the most celebrated photographers of all time
It’s ok if you cannot post it
Great photos
amazing and inspiring
He was one of the best photographers that I like most, but I feel when I see the pictures like this all in a big chunk I miss the captions and the story of the essay he would like them to be in. Not drawn out one by one after another without content. No criticism at all just my wish. Thanks
Merci
4:18 author of this foto is unknown, not Eugene Smith.
Извините, если ошибаюсь,но одна фотография разве этого фотографа,плачущий француз,наблюдающий отплытие не сдавшихся французских войск в Англию,это разве не Брессона фотография?
I thought the same the first time I saw it, but no, it is from Eugene

I didn't wat this to end...
Imagine being a witness to height of human suffering in the 20th century. How does one sleep, other than eternally?
"The Weeping Frenchman" at 4.12 was taken by Marcel de Renzis as far as I know.
Ohh, thanks for the feedback… we go to take a look to that one, thanks!… sorry.
@@greatphotographers No need to apologize you are doing a great job
Oh my goodness, the photo at 9:14 - the woman holding the skeleton of a boy - it’s the most haunting photo I’ve seen in a long time. Does anyone know the context of this one?
That photo is from the essays on Minamata - a town in Japan that was the victim of terrible mercury pollution from a local industry. By the time this photo was taken, the cause of "Minamata Disease" had been known for more than a decade, but the company had been allowed to continue polluting for much of that time and the government was dragging its feet to agree to compensation to the victims. Eugene Smith's photographs, including this one, helped bring international awareness to the situation.
@@AirhornsmanThanks for that explanation. Incredibly sad.
Arwwww those Chaplin photos are just stunning
❤👍🖖
24:25 - What is the Crying Frenchman doing in here?
Photos so bleak, one feels like slashing one's wrists after viewing.
Funny, I feel the opposite - enlivened.
Fantastic!
