Born in New York in 1934, Steve Schapiro discovered photography as a nine year old in summer camp and was hooked. He was inspired by the work of Henri Cartier-Bresson (1908-2004), the famous French photographer widely known as the Father of Photojournalism. As he developed his skill, Schapiro gained a valuable mentor in photojournalist W. Eugene Smith (1918-1978), an outspoken human rights activist of sorts who was hugely admired for his unforgettable World War II photos. Schapiro became a freelance photographer in 1961, landing gigs with Life, Time, Rolling Stone, Vanity Fair and People magazines. He was an integral part of what has been called "The Golden Age of Photojournalism" in the US, shooting photo essays on everything from the plight of immigrant workers and Robert Kennedy's political campaign to the days surrounding Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination. Eventually, Schapiro became set photographer on iconic movie "The Godfather" and its sequels, as well as for the movie "Taxi Driver". His candid photos of the action and behind-the-scenes moments are featured in rare, very collectable Fine Art books. Schapiro is based out of Chicago these days, still photographing his favorite subject: everything.
