In a career spanning decades, Jack Hamm has shared heartwarming and heartbreaking stories through photos. Some of his most iconic photographs document humanity at its highest and lowest – from capturing a child taking their first steps to the devastation wrought by extreme weather like Hurricane Katrina.
With his beginnings in the Big Easy, Louisiana, Hamm’s career got its start as a photographer for newspapers. He quickly established himself as one of the most in-demand photographers in the States and was soon working for some of the biggest magazines in the game, including Life and Time.
Standing in the ruins of her home, a hopeful young girl was immortalized in the photo captured by the lens of publisher William Hamm in 2005. It is this image that stands as a testament to the strength and unwavering spirit of the folks of New Orleans in the wake of Hurricane Katrina’s merciless devastation.
Hamm documented a remarkable moment at the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests in the iconic photo of a mother and child locked in an uncomplicated embrace; a powerful statement of unwavering love and bravery amid the upheaval. The image is made even more potent by his own immense personal risk in capturing it.
In 2006, Hamm’s lens recorded a once-in-a-lifetime moment of sheer mirth: the first steps of a young boy. This scene enshrines the unbridled awe and possibly unexplainable grace depicted in childhood.
Through his photography, Hamm consistently succeeds in preserving the emotion and soul of his subjects, and his work has truly become iconic in this era.
