Today, celebrates the life and work of Steve Schapiro, the legendary photojournalist who would have turned 90 this month.⁠
A pupil of the humanist photographer W. Eugene Smith, Schapiro’s acclaimed coverage of the 1960s civil rights movement brought visual poise to turbulent times. Invested in the cause, his images were not simply records, but agents of change.⁠
As a freelancer, Schapiro’s work appeared on the covers and pages of Life, Time, Look, and many international publications. Schapiro also shot the very first cover for People magazine, featuring Mia Farrow in ‘The Great Gatsby’.⁠
By the 1970s, he was specialising in on-set photography, capturing stars in the making during the production of now classic films including ‘The Godfather’, ‘Taxi Driver’, and ‘Chinatown’. A shift in subject but applying the same documentary charge, the pictures are candid and full of reflection, lending insight to those of us looking back through Schapiro’s lens.⁠

The Beatles posing with cups of tea in 1965, taken by British photographer Robert Whitaker, born today in 1939.⁠
Known for his images of The Beatles during the mid-1960s, Whitaker also photographed other figures of the tumultuous decade, such as Mick Jagger and Salvador Dalí.⁠
One of his most iconic images is the 1966 US-only cover for The Beatles’ album ‘Yesterday and Today’, known as the “Butcher”, which sparked controversy as the band members were dressed in butcher coats while surrounded by meat and doll parts. Though intended as a satirical slant on The Beatles’ fame in protest of their controlling US label, it was quickly recalled. The sleeve then became a sought-after collector’s item for its infamous reputation. ⁠
Whitaker’s photography extended beyond the music scene, documenting world events for Time and Life magazines.⁠ Passing away in 2011, his body of work reflects the cultural zeitgeist of that era through both pop culture imagery and photojournalism.⁠

Growing up in Los Angeles, DiCaprio began his Hollywood career in television during the early 1990s. His transition to film included ‘What’s Eating Gilbert Grape’ in 1993, which earned him his first Academy Award nomination at 19 years old. ⁠
DiCaprio achieved international fame playing Jack Dawson in James Cameron’s 1997 blockbuster ‘Titanic’, the first film to gross $1 billion worldwide. He further solidified his reputation as a leading actor through his many collaborations with Martin Scorsese, such as The Aviator (2004), The Wolf of Wall Street (2013) and Killers of the Flower Moon (2023).⁠
After six Academy Award nominations, he won Best Actor in 2016 for his raw portrayal of a frontiersman in Alejandro González Iñárritu’s Western epic ‘The Revenant’ from the previous year.⁠
Beyond his acting achievements, DiCaprio founded Appian Way Productions in 2001, co-producing many of the films he starred in. He is also a committed environmentalist, founding the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation in 1998 to combat climate change and promote biodiversity.⁠ ⁠

“One image I have never forgotten is that of John Lewis on the ground attempting to stop a white state trooper from clubbing him over the head. That photograph renders significant an image I took of Black state troopers saluting the casket of John Lewis as a horse-drawn carriage prepares to bear it across that very same bridge where he had risked his life some 56 years earlier”⁠
⁠
In light of the new acclaimed biography of John Lewis, we revisit ‘Photographing History in the Making’, an essay by on PicturingBlackHistory.org. Exploring the narrative power and agency of photography, the photographer describes his first major assignment for Getty Images – the funeral services of the civil rights icon. Follow the bio link to read on.⁠

SNCC leader John Lewis (light coat, center), attempts to ward off the blow as a burly state trooper swings his club at Lewis’ head during the attempted march from Selma to Montgomery March 7th. Lewis was later admitted to a local hospital with a possible skull fracture.” Bettmann | 7 March 1965⁠

On March 7, 1965 Lewis and other civil rights leaders were attacked by Alabama State Police while marching across the bridge in support of voting rights for African Americans. The day would come to be known as “Bloody Sunday” | Michael M. Santiago | ⁠

Remembering photographer Anwar Hussein⁠, who passed away earlier this month aged 85.⁠
Born in Tanzania, Hussein honed his craft in both Africa and the UK, establishing himself as a photojournalist with a keen eye for portraiture. Commissioned to photograph the biggest musicians of the 1970s, Hussein was practised in capturing “icons” before he turned his lens to a rarer fame - royalty.⁠
Looking more like the rock stars he had pictured than the traditional suited, clean-shaven royal photographer of the day, Hussein overcame scepticism to win over the establishment. His informal style, typified in the use of a longer lens from an unobtrusive distance, was adopted by the institution as they sought to engage a public now familiar with a more contemporary and relatable celebrity.⁠
Earning the trust of the royal family, Hussein’s warmly observed images are amongst the best-known of this most photographed of families.⁠
Here, , Director of Getty Images Archive, pays tribute:⁠
⁠
“Anwar’s work leaves us an incredible legacy. In particular it was his ability to capture life and moments with a freshness and candidness that would help change the way we saw the Royal family. His work, often as a result of personal rapport, favoured the spontaneous over the formal, the relaxed over the posed, and helped define a view of the Royals that they would go on to embrace themselves.”⁠

American actors Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas, as detectives James “Sonny” Crockett and Ricardo “Rico” Tubbs in a promotional portrait for the TV series ‘Miami Vice’. ⁠
Making its debut 40 years ago today, the US crime drama reflected 1980s pop culture through its highly-stylized visuals and contemporary soundtrack. Often parodied with affection, its own influence extended beyond TV, leaving its mark on fashion, computer games, and even driving tourism into the Florida city.
Produced by Michael Mann, he would later direct a film adaptation of ‘Miami Vice’ starring Colin Farrell as Sonny and Jamie Foxx as Rico, released in 2006.⁠

Conservation Focus: Delaminating Glass Negatives⁠
⁠
Although housed with others that are still in excellent condition, this LSC negative (London Stereoscopic Co.) is falling apart. The fragile emulsion containing the image of a bearded 18th Century gentleman is delaminating. It has separated from the glass support and sections of it have already been lost. This could be caused by a flaw in the chemical production, deterioration of the varnish topcoat that shrinks and pulls the colloid up off the plate or maybe just environmental stress on this particular negative if used repeatedly in the darkroom.⁠
⁠
Conservation is all about stabilisation, preserving this one will be a challenge. First the conservator must determine the photographic chemistry; the type of glass negative will dictate which consolidants can be used to pull the lifted areas of emulsion back down to the glass surface and seal any areas that are vulnerable.⁠
⁠
This form of conservation treatment is delicate and not easily reversible. The glass needs to be cleaned before the emulsion is teased back into place and the emulsion never lies completely flat again. It won’t be perfect, but treatment will ensure that no more of the image is lost. It also ensures that the negative is less vulnerable and can be digitised, which means less handling of this fragile piece of history in the future.⁠
⁠
Fortunately, there was another full frame portrait of this gentleman in the negative series (Swipe to see). From the negative no.18903 inscribed on the edge, he could be traced back to the corresponding LSC Index and identified. Meet Mr Lincoln.⁠
⁠
As part of a regular series, the conservator of Getty Images Hulton Archive shares surprising encounters and everyday challenges of protecting a multimedia collection.⁠

On this day 95 years ago, the Wall Street Crash of 1929 began.

U.S. National Hispanic Heritage Month: Dolores Del Rio⁠ ⁠ Dolores Del Rio, born on August 3, 1904, in Durango, Mexico, was a pioneering actress who became one of the first Latin stars of Hollywood’s Golden Age. With a career that spanned both silent films and talkies, Del Rio broke barriers for Hispanic talent in an industry that often-overlooked diversity. She gained international fame for her role in Flying Down to Rio (1933), alongside Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, and became a beloved figure for her grace, beauty, and powerful performances. Del Rio’s journey was one of resilience, as she navigated the challenges of being a Latina in Hollywood, yet she remained a symbol of elegance and strength throughout her career. Del Rio later returned to Mexico, where she continued to thrive in cinema, inspiring generations of actors and actresses with her legacy. This month, we honour Dolores Del Rio for her contributions to film, culture, and the Hispanic community.

British martial artist and suffragette Edith Garrud demonstrating self-defence moves, circa 1910. ⁠ These images were digitised from the original glass plate negatives, now over a 100 years old, recently uncovered in our Topical Press Agency collection.⁠ Garrud discovered martial arts alongside her husband, training under jujitsu masters Yukio Tani and Sadakazu Uyenishi. When Uyenishi returned to Japan, the Garruds took over his London dōjō - a place of formal instruction. Edith then became the first woman to teach jujitsu in Britain and one of the first female martial arts instructors in the West.⁠ She was also dedicated to the cause of women’s suffrage: training the security team of the Women’s Social and Political Union and setting up a self-defence club within the Women’s Freedom League in 1906. By teaching hand-to-hand combat, Garrud helped to protect members from police arrest and violence.⁠ The term ‘suffrajitsu’ was coined by a journalist in March 1914 to describe the suffragette’s use of martial arts to defend themselves.⁠ ⁠ 📷️: Topical Press Agency/Hulton Archive | #GettyImages #PreservingThePast #GettyArchive

From 1919, women’s Suffragist leader Alice Paul registers to vote by mail following the passing of the 19th Amendment, New Jersey, USA.⁠ Paul was a key figurehead and campaigner in bringing about the 19th Amendment, which states that the right to vote cannot not be denied on account of sex. This became law on 26 August in 1920, and although it granted most white women the vote, many women of colour were still excluded from exercising this right as other forms of discrimination were not addressed.⁠ ⁠ 📷️: Alice Paul toasting Tennessee’s Ratification of the 19th Amendment | 18 August 1920 | Harris & Ewing/FPG/Archive Photos | 🎥: Periscope Film LLC Archives | #GettyImages #PreservingThePast #GettyArchive
