Time magazine have revealed the 100 most influential photos of all time in a new multi-platform available digitally and via book form. Pictures include Harry Benson’s image of the Beatles having a pillow fight, Annie Leibovitz’s Vanity Fair cover of pregnant Demi Moore, Ellen DeGeneres’ 2014 Oscars selfie; Alfred Eisenstaedt’s photo of a sailor kissing a nurse as they celebrate V-J Day in Time’s Square; and the first full-colour view of earth taken by William Anders from the moon.
The images are on display at a virtual museum, which explains how each picture changed the world, and in a book entitled 100 Photographs: The Most Influential Images of All Time. “There is no formula that makes a picture influential,” TIME editors write in the introduction to the book.
“Some images are on our list because they were the first of their kind, others because they shaped the way we think. And some made the cut because they directly changed the way we live. What all 100 share is that they are turning points in our human experience.”
