Norman Parkinson (1913-1990) was one of the most famous fashion photographers of the 20th century. His fashion pictures were elegant, sophisticated, inspired and creative. He shot also celebrities such as Audrey Hepburn and Elizabeth Taylor. He was one of the first to shoot models out of the studio, outside. The background was important in his work. Besides, he travelled in many countries to realize photoshoots. For instance, he produced  wonderful fashion pictures for Vogue in India. Some of his photos are so beautiful that we could think it is paintings.
