American photographer Bob Willoughby (1927-2009) had a photographic career that coincided with the Golden Age of film. As the first on set film photographer, Willoughby revolutionised the documentation of Hollywood. Willoughby was the first 'outside’ photographer employed by studios to document the making of films. His work forms a visual who’s who of cinema, rock and jazz music, theatre and dance over 20 years. Iconic images of a multitude of stars from the 1950s and 60s, including Dustin Hoffman and Anne Bancroft on the set of The Graduate, Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra casually playing Blackjack at the Sands Hotel, Las Vegas, Audrey Hepburn between takes on the set of My Fair Lady, Chet Baker recording the music for My Funny Valentine and the great saxophonist Big Jay McNeely in concert. Both a star behind the camera and technical innovator in front of it, Willoughby’s photographs were never out of print during his 20 year career in films.

Bob Willoughby
Bob Willoughby was an American realist artist and photographer, born in 1927, in Los Angeles, California. He was most-loved for his photojournalistic motion picture stills capturing famous faces, including Audrey Hepburn and Frank Sinatra, demonstrating an ability to capture film stars in unguarded moments of repose and vulnerability. Between 1948-54, he also shot iconic moments of US Jazz history. In 1955, Edward Steichen selected one of Bob's images of a screaming female audience, to be included in the landmark 1955 exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, “The Family of Man”.
Bob's photographs are now held in major collections worldwide, including at the National Portrait Gallery, in Washington DC, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, in New York, the National Portrait Gallery, in London, Tate, in London and the Bibliotheque Nationale, in Paris.
