The Story Behind the Making of the Iconic Surrealist Photograph, Dali Atomicus (1948)
Briefly

"Photographing Salvador Dalí was not just about capturing his image; it was about channeling his surreal essence. Halsman learned to blend art with photography, creating elaborate scenes that often defied logic. Each frame was a collaboration, a dance between two masters of imagination, and required deep understanding and innovation."
"Dalí Atomicus represents the apex of our collaboration, featuring surreal elements that extend beyond typical portraiture. This photo revolves less around Dalí's face and more around the entire concept of his art. We didn't simply take a picture; we constructed a narrative about his world, woven together with humor and insight."
