In this week’s Spotlight series, Emily Anne Epstein highlights the early photography of the Scottish-born photographer Harry Benson. Benson, who is the subject of a new documentary that explores the iconic images of his career, has photographed every U.S. president since Eisenhower, attended Truman Capote’s Black and White Ball, marched with Martin Luther King Jr., and documented the Berlin wall go both up and down.
