In 1947 Halsman made what was to become one of his most famous photos of a mournful Albert Einstein, who during the photography session recounted his regrets about his role in the United States pursuing the atomic bomb.
Halsman je stvorio fotografiju koja će postati jedna od njegovih najpoznatijih radova: tužnog Alberta Einsteina koji je tijekom snimanja izrazio kajanje zbog svoje uloge u stvaranju atomske bombe u SAD-u.
