“中国娃娃” -----王小亭-“Newsreel” WONG --左上图为原版1937年的新闻照片，imaxsky的藏品。 1989年被评为全球10大摄影经典照片的第7位。

这张题为《中国娃娃》(Chinese Baby)的照片是世界战争史中的一幅象征性图像。为当时供职于美国赫斯特报系(Hearst Metrotone News)的中国摄影记者王小亭(英文名H．S．Wong)所拍。事后，他的电影胶卷由美国海军从上海空运送至纽约。两个星期后，这幅被冠名为“Chinese Baby”的照片出现在赫斯特报业系统的新闻短片和报纸上，并迅速传遍世界各地。据1937年《生活》杂志的评价估计，大约有1．36亿人看到了这张“中国娃娃”。

在一本名为“CHINA ILLUSTRATED"的书里的第260页，提到30年代中国的摄影：
---“The most memorable image of the period was actually taken by a chinese news cameraman call Newsreel Wong. He even used this name on his passport. He worked as cameraman for Fox Movietone News, but always carried a still camera. He took the famous picture of a baby crying among the ruins of a railway station at shanghai. He loved to tell his fellow newsmen how he shot this photography.
There were always beggars at railway stations in China. "Newsreel" borrowed the little mite from his mother, rubbed some charcoal over his face and posed him among the ruins. Unfortunately, the baby gurgled and giggled happily and refused to cry. " So I slapped him!" said "Newsreel", "And got the piture."

新闻摄影本来因该是100%的纪实照片才对，但是摄影师摆拍的图像是可以改变看的人的情绪，来达到他们想要的反应或效果。当时宋庆玲挟这张照片在美国的影响对美国政府寻求援助，美国人民为这张照片都不知道捐了多少款。但是这张电影照片定格放大的照片在制作上有必要考究的地方。请看下文：

Amateur Photographers
John M Whitehead
by Hon FRPS

The photograph by John M Whitehead appeared in Photographs of the Year from 1900 to 1920. He photographed romantic images, often of Scottish scenes. [Kirk V Toft]
He was one of three judges for the EPS International Exhibition held in February 1928, and featured in one of the poems to be found in EPS literature: Reflections on Mr Murch's Recent Lecture.
The poem is written to the tune of bagpipe music. The last verse reads:
If you can do just half the things I’ve mentioned,
Or even one or two supremely well,
You’ll be a downright regular Royal Fellow -
A Whitehead-Mortimer-Murch-McKissock-Dell.

Edward Steichen 一张底片共冲洗了三张Moonrise,但是他的人物肖像照片才是最传神的。大家可以看看由MOMA1978年出版的摄影集。他的 gum platinum print 并没有达到最高的冲洗技巧，
EPS的一位摄影大师的作品在当时是很多人敬佩的。
