Norman Parkinson
"Norman Parkinson brought about a revolution, transforming the otherwise stagnant picture into an exciting and enjoyable art"
——Industry insiders commented on Norman Parkinson
There is no shortage of fashion gurus in the world of photography, but there is only one known as the "father of fashion photography", Norman Parkinson, one of the most famous British photographers of the 20th century. Not only has he contributed many wonderful works, but he has also had an epic impact on generations of photographers.
When seen in the studio
All the models do the same movements and expressions
Norman Parkinson felt this group of beautiful girls
This is not supposed to be the case
So an unprecedented decision was made
Take indoor photography to the outdoors
Let the model run, jump and jump freely in nature
Even climbing walls, going into the water
The most accurate capture of them is the most real
The most beautiful moment
He made this choice
It was because before that
The works of several master photographers have been studied
Finally came to a sad conclusion:
"All the girls were doing the same thing
They just need to breathe deeply
Squeeze out a smile
This expression does not change on any occasion
Whether it is receiving a bouquet of roses
Listen to a good piece of music
Still smell perfume"
He felt that the girls in his life were by no means like this
Bring them out into the sun
Sure enough, the expected good effect was received
It also opened a new era of fashion photography
Industry insiders gave him the most sincere evaluation:
"Norman Parkinson has brought about a change
He will be originally stagnant and dull picture
It transforms into an exciting and enjoyable art."
Under this free mind
Originally lifeless photos
It was as if the soul had been found again
Under the lens of Norman Parkinson
One by one, the girls "came to life" again
They are beautiful and confident
Even Hepburn, came to his shot
It is no longer the noble and elegant reserved appearance of the past
Get lively
Bold expressions, bold laughter
Full of girly feeling
That's it
Norman Parkinson, who was invited by fashion magazines such as Vogue
With his girl
Travel to every corner of the world
Whether in the desert or deep in the mountains
All left a beautiful silhouette
For all these achievements
Norman Parkinson said very modestly
He's just a craftsman
Not a master and not an artist
In a 56-year career in photography
He is full and happy
