NORMAN PARKINSON

Norman Parkinson’s playful, precise eye was foundational to the genre of fashion photography. Parkinson began his career as a society photographer, learning studio techniques which he revolutionized by taking his camera out onto the streets. In his prolific, several decade spanning career, he photographed Audrey Hepburn, David Bowie, Jerry Hall, as well as couture fashion for Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue, and many other publications. Parkinson never retired from fashion photography; he died in 1990 while on assignment for Town & Country.
