Eisenstaedt was a REAL photographer. A total master of composition, and working with people.

Eisenstadt took the name of his hometown for his surname. Remarkable little guy. The story is he flabbergasted editors by shooting only two or three frames per roll of film (20 exposure or 36 exposure) and told the editors he got the shots. He did. Wiry and tougher than he talks! He was a legend when he was living too.

I agree ! So many American Documentaries seem to feel the need to " Editorialize " THEIR viewpoint and superimpose it on the subject ! Most British Docs seem to keep themselves as inconspicuous as we see Eisenstaedt speaking about here !

The Ermanox camera he mentions after the 8 min mark, had an exceptionally fast lens for the plate size. Still one of the fastest lenses ever made for that size of target. This is what made many of those images inside dinky salons possible.

seems like most good photographers are all very unique characters themselves, eccentric, impulsive, on edge, seeing large and framing it, showing that photography can never be reality but can be made emotion and idea Its sad that modern news and social photography has really gone down in composition and portrayal, full of lazy snaps where the operator shows no effort while high contrast sharp lenses and camera electronics work overtime to make at least something resembling photography.... If people like Eisenstaedt could do so much wonders with such basic cameras, most of todays photogs should be ashamed of how little they can achieve with their pocketable technological wonders. Ofc there are a few young good ones out there, but it does feel like the ammount of good photogs during the 20th century was massive, while you can almost count on your fingers masters who work at the moment
