Feininger began his photography career in 1928 and worked as a staff photographer for LIFE magazine from 1943 to 1962. During his time at LIFE, he produced many iconic images, including portraits of famous figures such as Albert Einstein and Winston Churchill, as well as striking cityscapes and industrial scenes. Feininger was also an accomplished writer known for his technical expertise and his use of large-format cameras.
