In 1965 he passed up the safety of the media enclave in Watts to record the street riots. In Vietnam, a sniper’s bullet shattered his camera lens and tore into his left hand. After he mended, LIFE offered him a lengthy sabbatical, but Rentmeester insisted on going straight to a series of wildlife assignments; on the very first shoot, a 400-pound orangutan in Borneo tenderly took his mangled hand into her mouth. Rentmeester has also been responsible for a number of innovations in sports photography, so it comes as no surprise that he has six Sports Illustrated covers to his credit. </span></p> <p style="text-align: right;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">—</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Adapted from </span><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Great-LIFE-Photographers-Editors/dp/0316097934/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1EH15RRHPZHFO&keywords=the+great+life+photographers&qid=1570115481&s=gateway&sprefix=the+great+life+photogr%2Caps%2C142&sr=8-1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Great LIFE Photographers</span></a></p> <blockquote id="single-block_5da5decacfcd0" class="single-image "> <section> <img decoding="async" data="block-image" data-id=5355047 desc="Asset ID: 13051422.
