V-J Day in Times Square (also V-Day and The Kiss) is a photograph by Alfred Eisenstaedt that portrays a U.S.
Navy sailor grabbing and kissing a stranger—a nurse—on Victory over Japan Day ("V-J Day") in New York City's Times Square on August 14, 1945.
The photograph was published a week later in Life magazine, among many photographs of celebrations around the United States that were presented in a twelve-page section titled "Victory Celebrations".
A two-page spread faces three other kissing poses among celebrators in Washington, D.C.; Kansas City; and Miami opposite Eisenstaedt's, which was given a full-page display.
Kissing was a favorite pose encouraged by media photographers of service personnel during the war, but Eisenstaedt was photographing a spontaneous event that occurred in Times Square soon before the announcement of the end of the war with Japan was made by U.S.
President Harry S.
Truman at seven o'clock. Because he was photographing rapidly changing events during the celebrations, Eisenstaedt did not have an opportunity to get the names and details.
The photograph does not clearly show the face of either person involved, and numerous people have claimed to be the subjects.
The photograph was shot just south of 45th Street looking north from a location where Broadway and Seventh Avenue converge. The photograph was taken at 5:51 p.m.
ET, according to Donald W.
Olson and his team.
It was taken with a Leica IIIa.
