Elliott Erwitt has spent a lifetime documenting the United States and his work now stands as a testament to what it means to be American. From grandstanding politicians and celebrity culture, to cinematic vistas, Erwitt’s vision of the nation manages to be both unique in perspective and universal in influence. Here, he captures the cast of ‘The Misfits’ during filming in Nevada in 1960. Erwitt photographed Marilyn Monroe a number of times over her career, always treating her the same as he would any other subject, explaining that it wasn’t his way to “smarm up” to celebrities. Though he has taken some of the most iconic images of the last half century, Erwitt is always matter-of-fact about his process: “You just walk around and look at things and try to put them in the frame. And hope that you will have got something.”

Elliott Erwitt is one of the best photographers of the 20th century,
