En la vida de Gordon Parks
La vida entera1947–1948
His first two books on photography appear
“Flash Photography” appears in 1947 and “Camera Portraits: Techniques and Principles of Documentary Portraiture” in 1948. From the late 1940s this second career as a writer will produce fifteen books.
1948
A photo essay on a Harlem gang leader brings him to Life
A photographic essay on a young Harlem gang leader wins him a staff job as photographer and writer at Life, America’s leading photo-magazine. He will stay there until 1972.
1948–1972
Photographs Malcolm X, Muhammad Ali, Barbra Streisand
In more than twenty years at Life he photographs fashion, sports, Broadway, poverty and racial segregation, as well as portraits of Malcolm X, Stokely Carmichael, Muhammad Ali and Barbra Streisand. Malcolm X asks him to be the godfather of his daughter Qubilah Shabazz.
1950
Returns to Fort Scott for Life
He returns to his hometown, Fort Scott, Kansas, where segregation persists, and documents conditions in the community and the lives of many of his eleven classmates from the segregated middle school. Life never publishes the project, which includes his commentary.
