Elliott Erwitt, original name in full Elio Romano Erwitz (born July 26, 1928, Paris, France), French-born American photographer and filmmaker who is known for his uncanny ability to capture on film the humour and irony of everyday life.Erwitt (whose family members had changed their surname when they arrived in the United States) was born to Russian ?migr?s living in Paris. The family moved to Milan when Erwitt was young and lived there throughout the 1930s. They immigrated to New York City just days before the outbreak of World War II. In 1941, after his parents separated, Erwitt moved to Los Angeles with his father. When Erwitt was just 16 years old, however, his father moved to New Orleans, leaving Erwitt on his own. He continued to attend high school and began teaching himself photography.
