Morris, who has been called the most influential photo editor of the 20th century, began his career in the 1930s. He worked alongside many of the greatest names in photojournalism, including Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Capa and other great war photographers. As picture editor for Life magazine during World War II, Morris edited Capa’s historic images of the D-Day invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944.
Morris went on to become photo editor for Ladies’ Home Journal, Magnum Photos, The Washington Post, The New York Times and National Geographic.
