Ryszard Horowitz (born May 5, 1939) is a Polish-born American photographer who is celebrated as a pioneer of special effects photography that predates the digital era. One of the youngest known survivors of the Auschwitz concentration camp, he was reunited with his family after World War II and studied painting in Kraków before immigrating to the United States in 1959. In New York, Horowitz honed his craft at the Pratt Institute under mentors such as Alexey Brodovitch and worked alongside Richard Avedon before opening his own commercial and fine art studio in 1967. Often dubbed a "photocomposer," he earned international acclaim for seamlessly combining surrealism, complex darkroom manipulations, multiple exposures, and inventive analog techniques to build dreamlike, illusionary imagery. His innovative work has earned him widespread commercial success, numerous prestige honors—including induction into the International Photography Hall of Fame—and a lasting legacy as a visionary bridge between surrealist art and modern advertising photography.

Joel Meyerowitz (born March 6, 1938) is an acclaimed American street, portrait, and landscape photographer recognized as an early pioneer in establishing color photography as a fine art medium. Born in the Bronx, New York, he began capturing street life in 35mm color film in 1962 after being inspired by Robert Frank, eventually transitioning to large-format cameras to explore light, color, and form in greater detail. Meyerowitz gained widespread critical recognition for classic photobooks such as Cape Light (1978) and for his historic role as the only photographer granted unrestricted access to capture the aftermath of Ground Zero following the September 11 attacks. Over a career spanning more than six decades, his work has been honored with two Guggenheim Fellowships and inducted into the Leica Hall of Fame, with pieces held in major public collections such as the Museum of Modern Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Whitney Museum of American Art.

he April 1966 issue of Infinity is a notable edition of the influential monthly magazine published by the American Society of Magazine Photographers. This issue serves as an important mid-1960s artifact documenting the evolution of contemporary street photography and photojournalism.
