As JFK’s campaign photographer, Jacques Lowe captured moments tough and tender. The Kennedy’s “had absolute trust in him,” says Jackie’s chief of staff Leticia Baldridge.
Born in Germany, Lowe came to the U.S. in 1949 and befriended the Kennedys after photographing Bobby for magazines in 1956. Devastated by Bobby's death in 1968, Lowe moved to Europe, then returned to the U.S. in 1984. The four-times-divorced father of five was "monumentally self-effacing," historian Arthur Schlesinger Jr. wrote. "This, I believe, is hy his camera caught so much human truth."
