The photographer as predator

From the website: Now 76, he has photographed everyone and everything from the Beatles' first arrival in New York to George W Bush. Bush brings his tally of American presidents up to date: he's done every single one since Eisenhower, as well as would-be president Robert F Kennedy. Benson took a reel of photographs when RFK was shot, and half a dozen pictures of the event form the centrepiece of the NPG exhibition. Still shocking, they bring to mind the furore over a European magazine's recent publication of photographs of the dead Diana, Princess of Wales.

Being There: Harry Benson's 50 Years of Photojournalism

From the website: Being There is an extraordinary, behind-the-scenes view from Benson's camera. He was there to cover major news stories - the night Robert Kennedy was shot, the day the Berlin Wall came down, Martin Luther King's funeral - and in the right place at the right time to take award-winning photographs of screen legends, presidents and supermodels.
