George Hoyningen-Huene began at « Vogue » as an illustrator and then became a supremely successful fashion photographer. Moving to « Harper’s Bazaar », he extended his range to portraiture and travel, capturing artists, composers and Hollywood stars including Cary Grant, Katharine Hepburn, Igor Stravinsky and Jean Cocteau.
In his book, still on sale at Amazon.com colour and duotone images display the full range of Hoyningen-Huene’s talent, alongside an extended account of his career, drawing largely on unpublished biographical material.
Master of light in black&white, he remains one of the greatest fashion photographer of the ’30 – ’40 and ’50
