Good article where Stanley Forman explains the background to his controversial 1975 'Fire Escape' photo...

Picture power: Fire-escape drama
The World Press Photo foundation celebrates the 50th anniversary of its annual photographic competition this year.
In the third of five pieces by photographers talking about their award-winning work, Stanley Forman describes how he captured the 1975 photo of 19-year-old Diana Bryant and her two-year-old goddaughter Tiare Jones falling from a broken fire escape during an apartment house fire in Boston, Massachusetts.
The picture was first published in the Boston Herald and then in newspapers around the world to much hostile reader reaction. The media was charged with invading the privacy of Diana Bryant, who died as a result of the fall, and pandering to sensationalism. |

Yeah, this is a great series...it's funny, I just posted a thread in a different forum linking to Frank Fournier's photo of the girl who was stuck after the Colombian mudslide (see "Trapped" at the link provided).
Check out all of the "Photographer's Stories" on that website, they give some great insight into some of the best photojournalistic photos ever taken. |
