Philippe Halsman (1906 - 1979) was a Latvian-born American photographer. His most famous photograph is his Dali Atomicus, which involves three cats flying through the air, a bucket of thrown water, and Salvador Dali jumping. Another of his famous photos is of a mournful Albert Einstein, who during the photography session recounted his regrets in his role in the United States pursuing the atomic bomb. The Einstein photo was used in 1966 as an 8 cent US postage stamp.
