Eve Arnold was a prominent American photojournalist, born on April 21, 1912, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to Russian-Jewish immigrant parents. She was the fifth of nine children, and her father was a rabbi. Arnold’s journey into photography began in 1946 while working at a photo-finishing plant, where she developed a keen interest in capturing the world around her. She studied under Alexey Brodovitch at the New School for Social Research in New York City, which significantly shaped her photographic style and career.
