Savoy Ballroom. Harlem, New York City, 1939

Following in his brother Robert Capa's footsteps, Cornell Capa became a photographer for Life Magazine in the US in 1946. This image was taken during that time, and beautifully captures the energy and pleasure of his light-footed subjects as they demonstrate their dance moves. After his brother's death in 1954 Cornell Capa joined Magnum and became president of the agency. There, he produced well known bodies of work focusing on the first 100 days of President Kennedy's presidency. He later found the International Centre of Photography in 1964.
