“Bob Schwalberg”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

Bob Schwalberg (October 12, 1927—October 8, 1996) was an American photojournalist and writer on photographic technique and equipment.

Career

Schwalberg was a photojournalist who worked alongside Alfred Eisenstaedt, Georg Karger, Robert Capa, Cornell Capa, Jerry Cooke, Lawrence Fried, Eileen Darby (Lester), Hans Knopf, Ed Feingersh, Lawrence Fried, Bob Henriques, Garry Winogrand, and George Zimbel for Pix, an early New York City photo agency which from 1935 to 1969 supplied news and feature photos to magazines, especially Life and, later, Sports Illustrated.

From 1950 he was a writer of technical stories in Popular Photography magazine and for many years produced a regular column for the magazine.^[1]^[2] He became known as Mr. Leica, an expert on camera equipment, having worked for the manufacturer of E.Leitz GmbH in Wetzlar in their public relations and product design departments for nearly 7 years, and as a European correspondent, before returning to write for Popular Photography.

Recognition

Two of Schwalberg’s photographs were included by curator Edward Steichen in the world-touring The Family of Man exhibition, seen by 9 million viewers.^[3] In one, two women spectators at a sports event, photographed at close range, scream ecstatically while the surrounding men remain unmoved. The second, a policeman photographed from above and panned at a slow shutter speed as he walked, shows only his dark uniform against the slightly blurred pavement in an abstract representation of the presence of the law.

Death and legacy

Schwalberg passed away a few days before his 69th birthday and was remembered at a memorial on March 4, 1997, at the Metropolitan Center, 123 West 18th Street, New York City.^[4] He left behind him a considerable archive of articles on photography.
