Norman Parkinson is an English fashion and portrait photographer.
His long career began in the 1930s and lasted more than five decades.
He is mainly famous for his collaborations with the British and American editions of Vogue and for his almost exclusively outdoor shoots.
He would appear on the magazine's cover three times in its American edition, including in 1949 with his third wife Wenda.
Alongside his work as a photographer, he was deeply attached to agriculture throughout his life.

He belongs, alongside Cecil Beaton and Bill Brandt, to the group of the rare British fashion photographers who truly had international influence.
