Can the phoenix arise from the ashes of it's photographic self-immolation? Yevgeny Khaldei accompanies Kodak and, whilst not a household name, his signature image is one of the the most recognizable. Read on.

Yevgeny Khaldei

Yevgeny Khaldei was a Russian naval officer and photographer known for one of the most enduring photos of World War 2, "Raising a Flag Over the Reichstag".
