Felice Beato


Felice Beato was a famous photographer who captured images of war and landscapes.  He set a precedent for the beginning of photojournalism.  It is said that he traveled to areas like Asia and parts of the Mediterranean and documented places and events that were unknown to the people of Europe and North America.  He believed that these photographs were helpful for increasing knowledge in these societies.  He wanted to create images that were powerful and lasting for these countries.  He usually produced his photographs in albumen silver prints.  Beato passed away in 1907.
