'''Victor Jorgensen''' (July 8, 1913 – June 14, 1994) was a former [[US Navy|Navy]] [[photo journalist]] who probably is most notable for taking an instantly iconic photograph of an impromptu scene in [[Manhattan]] on August 14, 1945, but from a different angle and in a less dramatic exposure than that of a photograph taken by [[Alfred Eisenstaedt]]. Both photographs were of the same V-J Day embrace of a woman in a white dress by a sailor. Eisenstaedt's better known photograph, ''[[V-J Day in Times Square]],'' was published in ''[[Life (magazine)|Life]]''. |
