Exhibition: Photographer Norman Parkinson: Never out of fashion - Louise Baring - Telegraph.co.uk
via telegraph.co.uk
Louise Baring for the Telegraph, " Norman Parkinson’s career as a fashion and portrait photographer spanned a remarkable 56 years. Turning his back on the ghostly-lit interiors that dominated pre-war fashion photography, he took women out into the real world, pioneering ‘action realism’, a photographic style that persists to this day. His images, combining aesthetic rigour with a witty, almost surrealist eye, were published in magazines on both sides of the Atlantic including Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Queen, Life and Town & Country."
