Synopsis: Steve Schapiro was a photojournalist and social documentarian who bore witness to some of the most significant political and cultural moments and movements in modern American history. STEVE SCHAPIRO: BEING EVERYWHERE documents the firsthand stories of photographer Steve Schapiro along with his vast archive of iconic images taken over six decades

Schapiro began his photojournalism career by documenting addiction in East Harlem and then traveling on his own to Arkansas to photograph migrant workers in 1961. His photo series on migrants was published in the Catholic magazine Jubilee. The New York Times saw the article and used one of Schapiro’s photos for the cover of their magazine. Schapiro then went on to work for Life, Look, Time, Newsweek, Rolling Stone, Vanity Fair, Sports Illustrated, People, and Paris Match.

Throughout his career, Schapiro photographed such notable people as Andy Warhol, Muhammed Ali, David Bowie, James Baldwin, Martin Luther King Jr., John Lewis, Rosa Parks, Ray Charles, Barbra Streisand, Bill Evans, and Samuel Beckett among countless others. He documented Robert F. Kennedy’s last Christmas with his family and captured key images of the Civil Rights Movement.

In the 1970s, as picture magazines like Look folded, Schapiro shifted his attention to film. With major motion picture companies as his clients, Schapiro produced advertising materials, publicity stills, and posters for such notable films as The Godfather, Taxi Driver, Midnight Cowboy, Chinatown, and even Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.
