Product Description
One of the great pioneers of fashion photography, Norman Parkinson is famous for his sense of style and glamour. Heralded as one of the true innovators in his field, he pushed the boundaries of the day by bringing the model out of the studio and onto the street. He set the model against unusual and daring backdrops, such as the gritty working-class districts of London, and was a seminal influence on subsequent generations of fashion photogaphers. Norman Parkinson: A Very British Glamour is a lavish portrait of Parkinson’s long career from the 1930s through the 1980s. In a unique collaboration with the Norman Parkinson archives in London, his iconic photographs for Vogue, Queen, and Harper’s Bazaar are reproduced alongside a trove of previously unpublished fashion work. The classics of Parkinson’s career are also shown here, providing the full breadth of his career. This exciting and definitive look into Parkinson’s illustrious legacy is sure to rank among the most important publications on fashion and photography.

Format:Hardcover
The book - published by Rizzoli - features very high quality image reproductions, as is typical with the publisher's publications. The book is by no-means 'simply' a gathering of 'Parky's' images featured in previous publications. The text that accompanies the featured images is exceedingly well-researched and features narratives and commentary of three basic periods of Norman Parkinson's popularity as a fashion photographer.
'Early years' features work from the late 1930s, Pre- and actual Swinging Sixties images where there is a notable shift to fashions being aimed at, and modelled by Young Women. Here of course, 'Park's' was there when it all happened with the Swinging Sixties happened - and the stunning images of Jean Shrimpton and Celia Hammond are particularly to the fore, from this era.
With the post-1970s period colour images emphasise the development of Norman's exceptional photography talents. A period that features a number of images of Jerry Hall for instance.
In short, this is a book of exceptional quality with a wonderful accompanying text by the author. Norman Parkinson was one of a few British photographers of the 'Golden Age of Fashion Photography'. His undoubted talents and his role in the development of fashion photography as a whole deserve greater exposure and celebration. This is a very worthwhile book if you have any interest in fashion photography or simply images that feature the changing fashions from the late 1930s onwards.
