Pendant ce temps, chez Gordon Parks
La vie entière4 mars 1944
Son born: David Parks
from the mid-1940s
Becomes a fashion photographer for Vogue
After leaving the Office of War Information he moves to Harlem and works as a freelance fashion photographer for Vogue; editor Alexander Liberman, despite the racist attitudes of the day, hires him to shoot a collection of evening gowns. He develops a distinctive style of photographing his models in motion rather than in static poses, and his fashion work appears in Vogue from the mid-1940s to the late 1970s.
mid-1940s
Works on the Standard Oil project in New Jersey
After leaving the Office of War Information — where he photographed the all-black 332d Fighter Group, the Tuskegee Airmen, and resigned when he could not follow them to the overseas war theatre — he follows Stryker to the Standard Oil Photography Project in New Jersey, whose photographers shoot small towns and industrial centers. His most striking pictures of these years include “Dinner Time at Mr. Hercules Brown’s Home, Somerville, Maine” (1944), “Car Loaded with Furniture on Highway” (1945), “Self Portrait” (1945) and “Ferry Commuters, Staten Island, N.Y.” (1946).
1947–1948
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.
