Parkinson always maintained he was a craftsman and not an artist. From his early days as a photographer up to his death he remained one of the foremost British portrait and fashion photographers. His work, following the lead of Munkacsi at Harper's Bazaar, revolutionized the world of British fashion photography in the '40s by bringing his models from the rigid studio environment into a far more dynamic outdoor setting. Humour played a central role in many of his photographs which often included himself. As well as magazine work he also created celebrated calendars featuring glamourous young women.This Icon print is available from Tristans Gallery ,limited edition estate stamped and numbered ,THE SET OF TWO PRINTS BOTH 12X16 INCHES PRICED AT £6000 for two
