Short biography
With a touch of humor and an eye for the humane, Elliott Erwitt's black and white photographs reveal the most basic and candid human emotions.

Born in Paris and raised in California and New York, Erwitt has pursued a photographic career in journalism, fashion, and print advertisement. His personal work has been published in countless monographs, and he has been a member of the prestigious Magnum agency since 1953.
