Photojournalism: Politics

Erich Salomon pioneered candid photography with a compilation of portraiture in 1931, titled ‘Famous Contemporaries in Unguarded Moments’. He disguised his camera in order to gain entrance to political conferences and court cases. 

As the world gained insight into politics, politicians ensured they were always ready to be in front of camera and shared notable moments and achievements, as well as disasters.
