André Kertész (2 July 1894 – 28 September 1985) (Via Wikipedia) 




André Kertész was a Hungarian-born photographer known for his contributions to photographic composition and the photo essay (read more here). He is considered to be the pioneer of photojournalism. 
Kertész had a strong impact on several generations of photographers including such great photographers as Henri Cartier-Bresson and Brassai. H. Cartier-Bresso said about  Kertész, “We all owe him a great deal”.
He made pictures continually until his death, at the age of 91.
Being one of the most influential photographers of all times, Kertész “attained fame - according to his own view - too late in life.” (read more here)
