Norman Parkinson (1913-1990) was one of the twentieth century's best-known fashion photographers. He was active for over 50 years and was instrumental in taking portrait and fashion photography beyond the stiff formality of his predecessors and injecting an easy and casual elegance into his images.
Norman Parkinson’s impulsive and unstructured style changed forever the static, posed approach to fashion photography, while his enchanting, idiosyncratic personality charmed his sitters and projected an alluring and glamorous public image.
