(2023济南十一校联考)John Dominis was one of the staff photographers of LIFE.He
joined LIFE in 1950 and shot one of the most classic pictures of the 20th century:Tommie
Smith and John Carlos giving the Black Power salute at the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City.
Here,LIFE looks back at one of his lesser-known shoots -the African Antelope,which
was a cover story that earned him Magazine Photographer of the Year in 1966 and later
became a book.In the Editor's Note that accompanies the story,Dominis described how he was
able to get the dramatic photo without a telephoto lens.
"I wanted to get low-angle shots that gave a dramatic sense of their speed.I built boxes
and mounted cameras in them,"Dominis explained."John Mbuthi and I worked for
three weeks with them.We'd go a mile ahead of a herd and put down the boxes and hide
them.Then we'd hide a quarter of a mile away and wait maybe for several hours.Meanwhile
the light might change and there was no way I could change the exposures in the cameras.If
the animal reached the boxes,I pushed the button that set off the cameras by a radio signal
and ran off a whole roll of film.I must have exposed 40 rolls,but ended up with only one really
good photo..”
The Briscoe Center recently acquired John Dominis'works."These pictures and
collections have something to say about how Americans perceive the outside world,said
Ben Wright of the Briscoe Center."They are not only beautiful and interesting,but also
historical evidences that help historians to understand the past with accuracy and integrity."
