Top 100 of the most influential photos of all time

With millions of pictures taken every day we can easily get lost in the vast world of images. That's why TIME magazine decided to create a list of 100 most influential pictures ever taken. They teamed up with curators, historians, and photo editors around the world for this task.

"There is no formula that makes a picture influential," the editors said. "Some images are on our list because they were the first of their kind, others because they shaped the way we think. And some made the cut because they directly changed the way we live. What all 100 share is that they are turning points in our human experience."

The result they ended up with is not only a collection of superb images, but incredible human experiences as well. "The best photography is a form of bearing witness, a way of bringing a single vision to the larger world." However, this is not the only TIME 100 - previously the magazine has released Top 100 novels, movies, influential people, and other noteworthy lists.
