Life and Legacy 2019:

Utilizing a stark contrast of values and a shallow depth of field, this composition highlights Eisenstaedt’s artistic instincts. Rather than depicting the lighthouse unobstructed, the photographer purposely shoots from within his car, the voyeuristic nature of peering through a window giving an air of anticipation and mystery to the picture.
