William Eugene Smith (December 30, 1918 – October 15, 1978), was an American photojournalist,
renowned for the dedication he devoted to his projects and his
uncompromising professional and ethical standards. Smith developed the
photo essay into a sophisticated visual form. His most famous studies
included brutally vivid World War II photographs, the clinic of Dr Schweitzer in French Equatorial Africa, the city of Pittsburgh,
the dedication of an American country doctor and a nurse midwife, and
the pollution which damaged the health of the residents of Minimata in Japan.
