Philippe Halsman – Dali Atomicus

Talking about Salvador Dali, here is an amazing collaborated work with Philippe Halsman.

And something to note – you could do this in photoshop now easily but Halsman did not – this was shot live. It took 26 tries to get it over five hours – Halsman counted to four, Dali leapt, 3 assistants threw the cats, one threw the water from a bucket and Halsman’s wife held the chair. Its all done in the camera.

More about the photo, also bigger versions, after the click.
