The constantly innovative work of the eponymous Norman Parkinson will be displayed at the Proud Galleries this month. A man who changed the landscape of photography, through his capturing of women in ‘the real world’. This exhibition promises to provide a rare insight into the mind of a creative genius, who photographed fashion the world over. From WW2 to the Swinging 60s, here is a real snapshot into how photography has progressed.
