JoeySanJoaquin Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 One fan wrote: "He did beautiful, classic Hollywood portraits in the 40s and 50s -- including the famous tee shirt shots of Brando for "Streetcar." In the 1960's, his trademark became highly stylized portraits like the ones used in the albums here -- and uber-glamorous, uber-soft-focused stills for the likes of Cyd, Barbara, Lana, Marlene, Joan, et al -- John Engstead truly was an aging diva's best friend!" (Note: Your current avatar is a perfect example of Engstead's reknowned style: natural (often outdoors) lighting, with the subject situated so that the light from the sun shines on top of the head/hair, giving off a sort of "halo" effect.) John Engstead bio: (http://en.wikipedia....i/John_Engstead) John Engstead (22 September 1909 in California - 15 April 1983 in West Hollywood, California [1]) was an American photographer. Engstead began his career in 1926, when he was hired as an office boy by Paramount Pictures' head of studio publicity, Harold Harley. In 1927, Engstead pleased his boss by arranging a photo session for actress Clara Bow with photographer Otto Dyer using an outdoor setting which was unusual at that time. Engstead's creative direction of photographs of actress Louise Brooks led to a promotion to art supervisor, where he oversaw the production of Paramount's publicity stills. In 1932, due to a strike by photographers, Engstead assumed the position of studio portrait photographer, despite having never previously photographed anyone. Actor Cary Grant posed for his practice shots. He returned to his job as art supervisor after the strike was resolved. In 1941, Paramount Pictures fired Engstead, and Harper's Bazaar hired him for freelance advertising and portrait photography assignments. From 1941 to 1949, he took fashion photography assignments from numerous other magazines, including Collier's, Esquire, House Beautiful, Ladies Home Journal, Life, Look, Mademoiselle, McCall's, Vogue, and Women's Home Companion. In the 1940s, Engstead photographed many celebrities, including Joan Crawford, Bette Davis, Maureen O'Hara and Shirley Temple. Unlike other photographers, he often shot his subjects at home or outdoors, and his portraits of a young Judy Garland in Carmel, California were particularly successful. During this decade, he built a studio in Los Angeles that became a gathering place for celebrities. Engstead continued to photograph movie stars and other celebrities through the 1950s (Marilyn Monroe) and 1960s. He produced promotional material for many television personalities, including Pat Boone, Carmel Quinn, Donna Reed, Ozzie and Harriet, Eve Arden, and Lucille Ball. He also shot cover photos for albums recorded by singers such as Peggy Lee and Connie Francis, as well as society portraits. His work extended into governmental figures in the 1950s, including then-Second Lady Pat Nixon. Engstead closed his studio in 1970 but continued to accept special portrait and television assignments until his death in 1984 at age 72.[2] Engstead's images are represented by the Motion Picture and Television Photo Archive and can be viewed by the public at MPTV.net[1] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
