Harry Benson will receive today the Lifetime Achievement Award from the International Center of Photography in New York. In this portfolio, you can find a selection of Harry Benson’s most iconic images shot in the 1990s. During these years, NPPA Pictures of the Years Awards continued with a first-place portrait award for Henry Kissinger and a second-place portraits award for John Wayne Bobbitt. Two Harry Benson books were published: PEOPLE: Harry Benson and FIRST FAMILIES: From the Kennedys to the Clintons. Harry Benson went on Black Hawk Down missions and was embedded in the Gulf War.
“Benson has shot an astonishing range of celebrities, from Yogi Berra at his ease to the society revelers at Truman Capote’s legendary Black and White Ball to the most personal portrait of Bill and Hillary Clinton you’ve ever seen.” – Kenneth Turan
