At the 2012 Rencontres photographiques d'Arles festival, its director
François Hébel requested Magnum photographers to recall the photograph
that marked a turning point in their artistic careers--the moment in
which their concept of photography and their sense of vocation acquired
meaning and individuality for the first time.
Inspired by that occasion, this volume gathers works by Abbas,
Christopher Anderson, Olivia Arthur, Bruno Barbey, Cornell Capa, Robert
Capa, Chien-Chi Chang, Bruce Gilden, Harry Gruyaert, David Alan Harvey,
Thomas Hoepker, Richard Kalvar, Peter Marlow, Susan Meiselas, Paolo
Pellegrin, Gueorgui Pinkhassov, Eli Reed, Jacob Aue Sobol, Larry Towell
and Alex Webb.
