Philippe Halsman - Photographer

I had seen this photograph a couple of years ago but only found out a few days ago that it was all taken in one shot and most impressively-in the 1940's. "Dali Atomicus" taken by Halsman features the famous Surrealist Painter Salvador Dali, along with 2 of his canvas's. It took 28 times to get the photograph perfect. I think surrealist photography has become incredibly easy over the years with programmes like Photoshop so its amazing to see a surrealist photograph that was taken in one shot.
