📗 Libro en inglés WERNER BISCHOF

Werner Bischof (1916–54) was an outstanding photojournalist of the postwar years. When his career was cut short by his untimely death (aged 38) in a car accident in the Andes he was a member of the prestigious agency, Magnum, and his work was sought after by numerous international news magazines. He had begun his career in Zürich as an advertising photographer. Unable to remain a passive observer, it was the destruction wreaked by World War II that led him into photojournalism. He gave the rest of his life to reportage photography, which could, he believed, raise awareness and thereby effect real change and bring about a better world.
