Immortalizing the people and moments that have defined the
past 60 years, world-renowned photojournalist Harry Benson
has become as much a part of history as the photographs
themselves. The scope of his accomplishments as a
photojournalist is nothing short of remarkable: he has
photographed every U.S. president since Eisenhower, as well
as Robert F. Kennedy on the night he was assassinated, and
Martin Luther King Jr. at his funeral; he has shot stars
such as Elizabeth Taylor, Mick Jagger, Dolly Parton, Michael
Jackson, Greta Garbo, and Truman Capote; he covered both the
rise and fall of the Berlin wall, the IRA hunger strikes,
the Freedom March through Mississippi, the Watts riots,
9/11, and conflicts in Kuwait, Bosnia, Somalia, Afghanistan,
and Israel; and, on the eve of his 80th birthday, Benson is
still at it, crisscrossing the globe on assignment for Conde
Nast.
