There is a photography group that refers to fellow photographers as “great photographers.” In fact, they may be calling themselves great photographers. This is because many of the top photographers in the field of photography are members of this group. That organization is ‘Magnum Photos’, the world’s best photo agency that aims for auteurism.
In 1947, Robert Capa, who remains a legend in war photography, and Henri Cartier-Bresson, who is famous for the photographic aesthetics of the ‘decisive moment’, founded Magnum. They created Magnum, an independent photo agency, to ensure independence from the editor-in-chief, use of the films they shot, and the freedom to choose their own assignments, and to reflect their personalities in their photographs.
Magnum's photographers have witnessed key aspects of world history and documented great moments in the world. It developed in the clash between art and journalism, between surrealism and reality. Magnum's best works were both art and documentation, poetry and prose. Magnum photographers try to shed light on the relationship between you, me, and us, which is the core and universal theme of our lives, through photographs showing people and the relationships surrounding them.
