Henry Clarke was born in
Los Angeles in 1918, the renowned fashion photographer, discovered his
calling in 1945 whilst working as an accessorist at Condé Nast in New York. During an encounter with the great
Cecil Beaton during a photography session at Vogue's studio, Clarke was entranced by the photographic image. Clarke moved to Paris in 1949. The next year he began a fruitful collaboration with the French, English and American editions of Vogue that would last more than a quarter-century. With the help of Diana Vreeland Clarke captured the elegance of the modern woman.
