Norman Parkinson was one of the great British fashion and portrait photographers of the 20th century. His career began in 1931, when at 18 he was apprenticed to a firm of royal photographers in New Bond Street, and ended with his death in 1990.
He set up his first studio in 1934, and before the war he worked for magazines such as Harper’s Bazaar and The Bystander; during the war he joined the RAF as a reconnaissance photographer and from 1945 to 1960 he worked for Vogue. After moving to Tobago in 1963, he became a freelance photographer, dividing his time between fashion and portraits, running the gamut from members of the royal family to movie stars, politicians and The Beatles. In Tobago, he set up a pig farm, and for years his Famous Porkinsons Bangers were served on Concorde and at The Ritz. He was responsible for the early success of models such as Celia Hammond, Grace Coddington and Jerry Hall, who first worked with him in 1975, when she modelled evening gowns in Versailles and then made a pioneering fashion trip with him to the USSR.
