WWII Photographers
Joe Rosenthal
Joe Rosenthal was most known for the famous photo of the flag raising after the victory on Iwo Jima. He applied to the Military to be a photographer but was rejected. He eventually was hired by the Associative Press to cover the war in the Pacific. That's when Rosenthal got the opportunity to capture the moment of six men raising the flag on Iwo Jima.
