How did the world’s most famous photographs, the snapshots that have become iconic, come about? This is an extraordinary and fascinating ten-episode journey exploring the forbidden city of photographic proofs, mixing with famous photographers from Magnum Photos, the legendary photographic agency founded in 1947 Over 60 years of history, from the collapse of the Twin Towers by Steve McCurry to Thomas Hoepker’s portrait of Muhammad Ali; from the Tiananmen Square protests photographed by Stuart Franklin to the glorious era of the Beatles captured by David Hurn’s portraits… up to candid snapshots of Nixon and Khrushchev, Marilyn Monroe, Margaret Thatcher and Miles Davis.
