This is a joyous, dynamic black and white photograph taken in New York City, likely in the 1950s based on the cars and fashion visible in the image. The photograph captures two people in mid-leap on what appears to be a bridge or elevated platform, with the iconic Manhattan skyline serving as a dramatic backdrop.
The composition is masterful - in the foreground, a man wearing a business suit and fedora hat leaps playfully while clutching a briefcase, his body creating a horizontal line in the air. Beside him, a woman in a winter coat also jumps, both of them appearing to be caught in a moment of pure, unrestrained joy. Their coats and clothing appear to be billowing in the wind, adding to the sense of movement and energy.
Behind them, the Manhattan skyline rises majestically, featuring several prominent Art Deco skyscrapers characteristic of the era. The contrast between the formal business attire of the subjects and their playful action creates a wonderful juxtaposition that speaks to Norman Parkinson's talent for capturing spontaneous-looking yet carefully composed moments.
The photograph beautifully embodies Parkinson's innovative approach to fashion photography, breaking away from the rigid, formal studio poses that were common at the time. Instead, he brought his subjects out into the real world and captured them in dynamic, natural-looking situations, though his shots were actually meticulously planned and executed.
The image exudes a sense of post-war optimism and energy that characterized New York City during this period, making it not just a fashion photograph but also a historical document of its time.
Norman Parkison was a Fashion photographer and portrait painter.
Born in 1913 in Great Britain, Norman Parkinson developed a distinctive and innovative style over nearly five decades, making him one of the most important photographers of the 20th century. Norman Parkinson's contribution to fashion photography is capital. A nature lover since childhood (he was raised in the countryside and created a farm in Tobago), Parkinson was the photographer who, at the turn of the Second World War, took the models out of the photo studios and set them up in natural surroundings.
He also contributed to the emergence of the phenomenon of model “sterilization. “He discovered and contributed to Jerry Hall‘s fame in the mid-1970s.
Norman Parkinson has worked for many years with Vogue magazine (English and American versions) and practically all fashion magazines, including Life, Harper’s Bazaar, Cosmopolitan, Glamor, and Vanity Fair …

Norman Parkinson
Norman Parkinson (1913-1990) was the Twentieth Century’s most celebrated fashion photographer. He pioneered epic storytelling in his images, taking portrait and fashion photography beyond the stiff formality of his predecessors and injecting an easy and casual elegance into the art. His photographs created the age of the supermodel and made him the photographer of choice for celebrities, artists, Presidents and Prime Ministers. Parkinson worked for a wide range of publications, notably Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Town & Country and other international magazines, which brought him worldwide recognition. He reinvented himself and fashion photography throughout his career, from his ground-breaking, spontaneous images of the 1930s, through the war years and the Swinging Sixties to the exotic locations of the 1970s and 1980s. By the end of his life he had become a household name, the recipient of a CBE, Honorary Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society, and the subject of a large scale retrospective at the National Portrait Gallery, London. Norman Parkinson died whist on location in Singapore shooting for Town & Country in 1990.
