Bernard Hoffman
Bernard Hoffman (1913–1979) was an American photographer and documentary photographer. The bulk of his photographic journalism was done during the first 18 years of the revamped ''Life'' magazine, starting in 1936. During this time he produced many photo essays, including a shoot with Carl Sandburg in 1938. He is, perhaps, most known as the first American photographer on the ground at Hiroshima and Nagasaki after the atomic bomb was dropped in 1945, providing some harrowing glimpses into the destructive power of the bomb.
After leaving ''Life'' in 1951, Hoffman went on to establish Bernard Hoffman Laboratories, a company dedicated to improving the technology for professional photography. The lab was well-known enough that in 1963 he was brought on to process film from the Kennedy assassination, leading to support for belief in the infamous "shooter on the grassy knoll." Following the sale of the lab in 1973, he spent his retirement years running photography workshops with his wife, Inez. Hoffman died of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease) in 1979.
==Early life==
Bernard Hoffman was born in New York City in 1913,〔 and little is publicly known about his youth, besides the fact that he received a camera as a birthday present in 1931, when he was 18 years of age.〔 Hoffman used the camera to snap photos of friends skinny dipping, but was told by the local shopkeeper that they would not develop the film into prints. He decided to take matters into his own hands and purchased a kit to develop the pictures himself.〔 This incident would chart the course of his entire adult life.
In 1935, he accepted a job as staff photographer for ''Life'', the first of the original four members of that department, as Henry Luce revamped the publication into an all-photographic American news magazine.
