The war in the South Pacific, a country doctor in Colorado, victims of industrial pollution in a Japanese village – all of these were captured in unforgettable photographs by the legendary W. Eugene Smith (1918–1978). No matter where, what, or whom he was shooting, Smith drove himself relentlessly to create evocative portraits that revealed the essence of his subjects in a way that touched the emotions.
