Alfred T. Palmer (17. března 1906 San José, Kalifornie – 31. ledna 1993)[1] byl americký filmař a válečný fotograf.
Životopis
Od roku 1941 do roku 1943 sloužil pro americkou vládu během druhé světové války při poskytování veřejných informačních služeb. Byl členem agentury Farm Security Administration,[2] která pomocí plakátů pracovala na podpoře vlastenectví, varovala cizí vyzvědače a pokoušela se získat ženy, aby pracovaly pro válku. Agentura měla také pobočku v zahraničí. Fotografové zaměstnaní v této společnosti vytvořili přibližně 1600 barevných fotografií, které zachycují život ve Spojených státech, včetně Portorika a Panenských ostrovů. Společnost FSA byla vytvořena v USA v roce 1935 v rámci New Deal. Jejím úkolem bylo v krizi pomáhat proti americké venkovské chudobě. FSA podporovalo skupování okrajových pozemků, práci na velkých pozemcích s moderními stroji a kolektivizaci. Se vstupem USA do druhé světové války však nastala změna: projekt FSA dostal jiné jméno – Office of War Information (OWI) – a také jiný program. Ve válce musela propaganda ukazovat, jak jsou Spojené státy silné a ne jaké mají potíže. V roce 1948, kdy FSA zanikla, byla dokonce snaha pořízené dokumenty zničit, aby nemohly být použity pro komunistickou propagandu.[3]
Alfred T. Palmer se specializoval na portréty mužů a žen při práci v průmyslu. Používal přirozené osvětlení, při kterých se zaměřil na osobu v jejím prostředí – někdy vznikaly až extrémní kontrasty.

This dam will be 161 feet high and 1,682 feet long, with a 31,600-acre reservoir area extending 43 miles upstream. With a useful storage capacity of approximately 1,330,000 acre-feet, this reservoir will make possible the addition of nearly 100,000 kw. of continuous power to the TVA system in dry years and almost 170,000 kw. in the average year.
