Matthew TeBos-Iconic Photos

This iconic photo was taken of young JFK Jr. right after his father died. The time frame was Nov. 25, 1963. The photographer was Dan Farrell. He was a veteran newsman sent to cover the funeral of President John F. Kennedy. The story behind this image is that actually Farrell almost didn't get the image as he had about two seconds to get the shot. The image was printed in Life magazine. And this image is iconic because it is full of sadness but also has patriotism in this photo as well.

The next iconic image I have to share is of Martin Luther King Jr. He was the leader of the Civil Rights movement in the mid-1960s. The photographer was Steve Shapiro. He was a photographer for Life magazine in the 1960s and was interested in the civil rights movement when it started appearing more. Shapiro traveled down to Selma to photograph the Selma walk and other important events.
This photo is King giving a speech to his followers. It is ironic because it captures the determination he had as a leader in that time period.

The final photo I have is the pop icon, Michael Jackson. The photographer for when he was a just a teen starting out to worldwide superstar is a man named Harrison Funk. He went on all of Jacksons tours and got pictures of all of the icons performances. This picture is iconic because it is Michael performing one of his hit songs on stage. Funk said that Michael changed the world with his rebranding of the moonwalk, and when Michael got his star on the walk of fame it was Funk's career highlight.
