Photography In The 60's

Photography In The 60's
The 1960's 
The rise of photography especially Photojournalism and Street Photography.
I decided to research 10 Photographs that defined the 60's. 




Bert Stern, Marilyn Monroe (The Bed And The Wine, Sipping) From The Last Sitting, 1962.

Bern Stern was known for his pictures in vogue during the 1950's and 60's, he was an art and fashion photographer. He became well known for his photographs of Marilyn Monroe known as 'The Last Sitting.' These photographs he took two months before the actress passed away. 




This photo of John Lennon and Yoko Ono shows the two jesting protest against the Vietnam War that took place not long after the couple exchanged their vows in 1969. They knew that their new marriage would attract attention so the two deliberately sought friends in television to announce they would stay in bed for 2 weeks as a strategy of peace activism. 




The execution of Nguyen Van Lem
Nguyen was a soldier for the Viet Cong and was executed on the streets of  Saigon by a South Vietnamese officer. This offence interrupted a truce during the Tet lunar new year celebrations, jolted global perceptions of what the communist 'guerrillas' that are in Vietnam are capable of.
