I just got a text from a friend asking me if I would like to come to an exhibition to see the life work of Norman Parkinson next week.
for thos who dont know Norman Parkinson is a English portrait and fashion photographer, During the 2nd World War he served as a reconnaissance photographer over France and later he published images in Vogue as well as others, Then worked as a freelance photographer till the day he died in 1990.
The exhibition is on from the 1st of March till the 12th May at the National Theatre... you can find details on this LINK.
"Regarded as the father of modern fashion photography, 2013 marks the centenary of Norman Parkinson’s birth. Many of the tropes that are now commonplace in print and online images – exotic locations, unexpected props and weird juxtapositions – were introduced in the extraordinary photographs he took before and after the Second World War. Beyond the glamour that for many defines his work, he was also an incisive and skilful portrait photographer. This National Theatre exhibition will cover all aspects of his long career until his death in 1990."
