Norman Parkinson

It wasn't until about 10 years later when he started to use colour in his photographs. You can tell his photos we taken from a film camera by the effect the pictures have. I like the contrast in the black and white photos and I also like the background setting that hes photographed his models in. It makes the pictures look more interesting to look at I prefer it to just a plain black or white background. I've noticed that in most of his pictures all the models are holding props, which I like and might be an aspect of his photography that I include in mine. His photos for his Vogue covers stand out because there colourful, and also the image isn't just a model stood in front of a plain white background he's made them more interesting to look at. Even if it was just the image without the magazine features, you would still be able to tell it was a fashion photo, even though he doesn't have full body fashion shots of his models.

He was born in 1913, he photographed fashion and portraits. He started photographing portraits then collaborated it with fashion. It was after that he started photographing for British and American Vogue, Bazar, he also photographed the royal family. He won a lifetime achievement award and had a 50 year retrospect in the national portrait gallery in London.
