The Porkinson Banger; born from one man's passion
Norman Parkinson was one of the most influential and iconic fashion photographers in the '60s and '70s. He was a leading trendsetter of his time; photographing & mingling with the crème de la crème of fashion, rock, Hollywood and even royalty. From Audrey Hepburn to the Rolling Stones, HRH the Queen Mother to Jerry Hall, both the great and the good graced his camera's lens. Born in 1913, Norman Parkinson became famous having contributed to Harper's Bazaar, Vogue and Queen amongst many other titles. His photography was always lively and humorous. He brought models out of studios and into more intriguing outdoor settings, often featuring in the photos himself; he was a classic British eccentric. In 1963 'Parks' moved to Tobago, which is where things get interesting (for sausage connoisseurs...). |
