1. Philippe Kahn
This photo is important because, with the invention of cell phone cameras, a new age of photography was introduced. Philippe Kahn snapped this image of his newborn baby while stuck at a Northern Carolina maternity. He was outside the hospital room where his wife was giving birth, so in the meantime, he created a device with which he could send a photo of Sophie to their family immediately after her birth.
How Kahn set up his software:
Kahn synced his camera and cell phone by connecting them to his laptop using a USB cable, and by writing a few lines of code.
Another work by Philippe Kahn: In the image above, Kahn shows the camera a selfie he took via flip phone.
Extra information about Kahn:
Date of birth: March 16, 1952
Place of birth: Paris, France
Studied at ETH Zürich college, Sweden
2. Margret Bourke
I chose this image because Gandhi played a crucial role in Indian history by introducing the idea of a non-violence revolution. An example would be when he and his followers made a voyage on foot to collect salt from the ocean, and British officers were sent to beat them. Instead of fighting back, they sat there and took the beating, and by doing so, they further clarified their point of incorporating elements of non-violence in their revolution. In this picture, Ghandi was photographed in his prison cell in which the Brittish held him hostage. He made a portable spinnnig wheel so he could continue his craft while imprisonned.

Date of Death: August 27, 1971

3. Chris Hondros 
This image is important because it uncovers part of the 'hidden truth' of the war in Iraq. Samar Hassan's parents were murdered in an open-fire by US soldiers because they thought their car might be carrying weapons, or it was a suicide bomber. Americans were supposed to be helping and liberating the people of Iraq, but this photo shows the cost in lives in war.
Additional link:
The troops on base were in a firefight early in the day, so there was a high level of alert on campus. A car rolls in late at night and the troops open fire at it. They heard distant cries of six children from the back seat. The soldiers moved the kids off to the side to check them, and some were covered in blood and most were injured. Hondros was killed during a firefight in Libya at the age of 41.
Another work by Chris Hondros: In the image above, two little girls sit next to an American soldier. The contrast in size between the girls and the US troop shows how fragile the children of Iraq have become due to the brutality of the war.

4. Kevin Carter 
Photographed by Kevin Carter, a child in Sudan, South-Africa, collapsed while on his way to a feeding centre. Carter reports that after 20 minutes of waiting, the vulture did not move. This image is heartwrenching; the vulture eyes his next meal, and the child lays on the ground, head in hands. It is evident how many children the plump bird had eaten beforehand.

5. Donna Ferrato 
I chose this image because it is important to note the domestic abuse that happens quite often behind closed doors. Donna Ferrato snapped this photo of Garth beating his wife Lisa. Her photographs forced people to confront the issue of abuse.
Another work by Donna Ferrato: In the image above, Ferrato photographs Garth threatening to burn Lisa's coat. This piece is titled "Black Eyes Don't Lie."
Adittional link:
Donna never expected what she saw. Ferrato was sleeping, and awoke to the sound of Lisa "screaming bloody murder" (Time 100). She rushed over and saw Garth hitting them. She thought that by taking a picture, he would stop, but he did not. She grabbed his arm when he went to swing at her again, and he shook her off and said that "[Lisa] is [his] wife and [he's] gonna teach her that she can't lie to [Garth]."
Photographer: Donna Ferrato
Date of Birth: June 5, 1949
Studied at Laurel School, Shaker Heights, Ohio
