THE COMPOSITE PHOTOGRAPHY OF THE EASTERN FRONT -- MAN VERSUS NATURE.
PIC INFO: Resolution at 1600x1067 -- Spotlight on a composite photograph titled "Reindeer Yasha beyond the Arctic Circle," World War II, Murmansk Area, USSR, c. 1941. 📸: Yevgeny Khaldei.
MINI OVERVIEW: "World War II planes bomb a hillside while a shellshocked reindeer looks on. The stark interface between the killing machines of man and the natural grandeur and beauty of the reindeer was not "natural."
Yevgeny Khaldei, the famous Soviet photographer who took this photo, frequently staged or manipulated his photos to (as he defended the practice) enhance and strengthen the “truth” of the visual moment."
