His works on the devastation in post-war Europe established him as one of the foremost photojournalists of his time. In 1949, he joined Magnum Photos, which at the time was composed of just five other photographers: Robert Capa, Henri Cartier-Bresson, George Rodger, David Seymour, and Ernst Haas.

Ron Galella (born January 10, 1931) is an American photographer, known as a pioneer paparazzo. Dubbed “Paparazzo Extraordinaire” by Newsweek, he is regarded as the most controversial celebrity photographer in the world, willing to take great risks to get the perfect shot. A Bronx native, Galella served as a United States Air Force photographer during the Korean conflict and attended the Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles, California, graduating with a degree in Photojournalism in 1958.
On June 12, 1973 Galella lost five teeth and suffered a broken jaw after actor Marlon Brando punched him outside a restaurant in Chinatown. Galella followed Brando, who was accompanied by talk show host Dick Cavett, after a taping of the Dick Cavett Show in New York City. Brando reportedly paid a $40,000 out-of-court settlement and suffered an infected hand. Read full wikipedia article.
