FMS403DBBeauty: FMS403DBBEAUTYSALMONM Photography Research/ George Hurrell.

George Hurrell is considered to be by many sources, the 'Master of Hollywood Glamour photography'. Hurrell captured men and women in gorgeous soft focus lighting in his images making every photograph appear to drip in glamour and an expensive glow. Hurrell was introduced to a camera in an art school he attended although his skill at the time was the art of painting. Because of his painting skills he was mentored by Edward Alwyn Pane a famous landscape painter that took Hurrell under his wing in order for him to become a serious artist.

George Hurrell got his big break thanks to his good friend 'Pancho' formally known as Florence Leonine Barnes as she had referred him to Ramon Navarro a movie star at MGM who needed some publicity photographs taken of him for his portfolio. From that moment Hurrell's career expanded and eventually ended up in him getting a job as an portfolio photographer.

I find his photography style beautiful and flattering on men and females. I plan on using George Hurrells photography work as a reference for creating my own photoshoot for 'the perfect base' brief.
What i find particularly inspiring about his style of photography is that, his use of capturing peoples faces makes them look attractive, beautiful and soft no matter what face shape, size or harsh features they may have Hurrell effortlessly makes people look beautiful.

George Hurrell worked with iconic stars such as Grace Jones, Norma Shearer, Jean Harlow, Julie andrews and many more movie stars, making each and everyone one look completely flawless and beautiful.
