The most famous image of a man on the moon, an iconic image which belongs to our collective visual memory.
Neil Armstrong framed this amazing full-length portrait of Buzz Aldrin on the Moon, also known as the ‘Visor Shot’, with the 70mm Hasselblad 500EL Data Camera mounted on the Remote-Control Unit of his chest.
‘Nothing prepared me for the starkness of the Moon. The barren terrain was a dusty grey with many little craters in every direction. The sky was utter blackness, void of any stars. As I walked away from the Eagle Lunar Module, Neil said, “Hold it, Buzz”. So I stopped and turned around, and then he took what has become known as the “Visor” photo.
‘I like this photo because it captures the moment of a solitary figure against the horizon of the Moon, along with a reflection in my helmet’s visor of our home away from home, the Eagle, and of Neil snapping the photo’. – Buzz Aldrin
