With more than a hundred covers in Life magazine, Halsman is also known for his collaboration with the artist Salvador Dali and his photographic series Jumpology in which he portrayed well-known characters jumping. He mainly photographed famous people from the world of cinema and art but also from the aristocracy and even presidents of the United States.
