TBT: THE MOST INFLUENTIAL IMAGES OF ALL TIME
何謂一張具有影響力的攝影作品?「沒有一個使照片充滿影響力的公式存在,這個名單當中,有一些是象徵重大的歷史事件;有些改變人們對某件事的看法;也有些於群眾中引起極大反應的。而這 100 個影像的共通點,就是它是我們人類的轉折點。」
最近,《TIME》選出了100張最具影響力的攝影作品,當中有不少是你我都十分熟悉的歷史影像,記載著各個驚動人心的時刻,例如六四事件中的「TANK MAN」、岩士唐登月的「A MAN ON THE MOON」、興登堡號空難事件所拍攝的「THE HINDERBURG DISATER」等等。不過,同時亦有網民質疑部分照片的公信力,聲音最大的莫過於2014年奧斯卡頒獎典禮中BRADLEY COOPER與眾星的一張自拍照,根據《TIME》報道指出這張照片記載了互聯網時代令人難以置信的「自發時刻」,不知你們對這照片又有什麼想法呢? 大家不妨到 TIME.com/100Photos 欣賞全部獲選作品,網站內同時上載了20條有關於這些歷史時刻的紀錄片,順便測試一下大家對歷史時事到底有多少認知!
不得不提的是RICHARD AVEDON大師於1955年為《HARPER’S BARZAAR》所拍攝的時裝作品「DOVIMA WITH ELEPHANTS」也在榜上,當然這位於50年代名氣十足的模特兒DOVIMA也是功不可沒的。
