In today's class we looked at some photographs by the famous portrait photographer Philip Halsman.
"Starting in the early 1950s I asked every famous or
important person I photographed to jump for me. I was motivated by a
genuine curiosity. After all, life has taught us to control and

jumps. I wanted to see famous people reveal in a jump their ambition
or their lack of it, their self-importance or their insecurity, and many
other traits."
