The artist that I chose for this week is John Loengrad. John was a promising Harvard Crimson
photographer when LIFE asked him to shoot a photo of a freighter grounded off cape cod in 1956.
The shoot never happened, but it did kick start an life long association with the magazine. John
mastered the art of obtaining natural expressions from famous individuals such as Bill Cosby, The
Beatles, and Marylin Monroe. John went on to become one of Life magazine's greatest. John left Life
magazine to help help create People magazine by becoming their first picture editor.
