Most powerful images of the last hundred years

Sometimes you don’t need a long newspaper article or report to tell you everything you need to know. The image that can accompany a story can be more emotive than any of the words written to describe the situation. The bravery exhibited by some people is remarkable, and words can’t do their actions justice, but seeing them in action will make it very real. Over the last hundred years, there have been some truly horrible, devastating, euphoric, and triumphant moments that have been perfectly captured by photographers.
Throughout history, many countries have gone to war, and because of this there has been too much blood spilled. There have been many fearless photographers that have had to step in harm’s way in order to get the perfect shot. This likely involved following military personnel into war zones to document how the events unfold. Many of these powerful images have been captured during the last hundred years that have inspired people to make a difference in the world.

In 1955 when ‘The Seven Year Itch’ was released in theaters, Marilyn Monroe’s white dress scene became an instant classic. Allegedly, the dress flew up way more than director, Billy Wilder, originally anticipated, and Marilyn ended up being the center of quite a commotion. 

During the filming of the scene on a sidewalk in New York City, men gathered around Marilyn so see all the fuss. The look of cute embarrassment on her face is actually quite genuine – leading this picture to becoming authentically iconic.
