Photography is a collaborative process – like a dance – and Norman was like Fred Astaire. Queen Elizabeth, the Beatles, Audrey Hepburn, David Bowie and Twiggy were among the many 20th century icons and the world’s greatest personalities that were immortalised by Norman Parkinson (1913 – 1990), one of the foremost British fashion and portrait photographer of the post-war era.

Another site which steals photography in order to make advertising revenue. A bit like going into a shop to steal a product and reselling it outside the store.

Nearly a century ago in France, Edward Steichen "reinvented photography for himself," employing handmade dyes and multiple printing processes in his workshop. Now new Steichens have been found.
Howard Greenberg explains: "Inside was a small group of unmounted 8-by-10 prints that looked for all the world as though the last time they had seen the light of day was on Steichen’s worktable in Voulangis almost 100 years ago."
These rediscovered images are the heart of “Eduard et Voulangis,” published by Lumiere Press in collaboration with Mr. Greenberg. 
I had no idea that Ansel Adams produced urban landscapes too!

Of course, Lyonel Feininger was actually one of the 20th century’s most important American avant-garde artists: at various times a Cubist, Expressionist and Secessionist. He’s also well known as one of the Bauhaus’s original faculty, and was even a distinguished newspaper comic strip artist. But a photographer? Really?
