Smith worked for Newsweek, Flying Magazine, Life Magazine, etc. Smith joined Magnum Photos in 1955 and became a full Member in 1957.

“Photo is a small voice, at best, but sometimes – just sometimes – one photograph or a group of them can lure our senses into awareness. Much depends upon the viewer; in some, photographs can summon enough emotion to be a catalyst to thought.” – W. Eugene Smith
