(A #MagnumSquare that #ChangedEverything from photographer #ConstantineManos. Orders open June 8th...) “This photograph of children running through the woods is my first serious picture, a moment that marks the beginning of a lifelong search for beautiful and poetic images. It was made on Daufuskie Island, off the coast of South Carolina, in 1952. At the time, I was eighteen years old, but had been smitten by photography earlier when I joined the school camera club in 1947 — incidentally, the same year Magnum Photos was founded. Until 1952 I knew nothing about the greater world of photography beyond my hometown of Columbia, where I was a student at the University of South Carolina. One day I read an article in a magazine about a photographer named Henri Cartier-Bresson, who, unbeknown to him, became my mentor from afar. I acquired the equipment he used — a Leica camera and Ilford film. I had heard about Daufuskie Island and its African-American inhabitants who made their living harvesting the fruits of the sea. It sounded like the perfect subject matter for the kind of pictures I wanted to make. Later, in 1952 I went to New York for the first time and visited the offices of Magnum Photos with a box of Daufuskie prints, including this picture, under my arm.” — Constantine Manos
