After van Dongen, Vogue, 1959Norman Parkinson
Parkinson always maintained he was a craftsman and not an artist. From his early days as a photographer up to his death, he remained one of the foremost British portrait and fashion photographers. His work, following the lead of Munkacsi at Harper's Bazaar, revolutionized the world of British fashion photography in the '40s by bringing his models from the rigid studio environment into a far more dynamic outdoor setting. Humor played a central role in many of his photographs, which often included himself. - Wikipedia
