Brian Hamill was born in Brooklyn, New York and studied photography at the Rochester Institute of Technology. In the mid-1960s, Hamill began his long career as a photojournalist covering everything from the Rock & Roll scene, politics and entertainment to sports (especially the boxing world). In the late 1960's he also worked for a few years as an assistant to several top fashion photographers. In the early 1970's he traveled to Northern Ireland to photograph the troubles there for The New York Times Magazine and simultaneously widened his photojournalistic scope into a unit still photographer on movie sets. Since then, he has worked as a unit still photographer on over 75 movies, including 26 Woody Allen films, resulting in the much-acclaimed coffee table photo book titled Woody Allen at Work: The Photographs of Brian Hamill (Harry N. Abrams, 1995). Hamill's work has also appeared in numerous other books, publications and many groups and solo exhibitions, including a one-man show at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in 1995. Since 2005, Hamill has had many solo exhibitions in New York City, Los Angeles, Toronto, Santa Fe and Austin with his Tests of Time images of John Lennon, Muhammad Ali, Mick Jagger, Tina Turner, Robert DeNiro from Raging Bull and Woody Allen from Manhattan and Annie Hall. In addition to his movie work, Hamill has an extensive file of photographs that includes the Troubles in Northern Ireland - 1972, Rock & Roll, boxing, an extensive file of travel photographs from around the world and a collection of nudes from the 1970s to the present which he will include in a forthcoming book. With over 45 years as a photographer, Hamill has amassed an amazingly colorful collection of stories to complement his many photographs. His fine art photography is available for purchase from limited edition sets and his fine art prints are represented in numerous private collections throughout the United States and Europe. Hamill, who is a self-proclaimed devoted and fiercely loyal New Yorker, still lives in New York City.

Description - Julian Wasser started his career in photography in the Washington DC bureau of the Associated Press where he met and accompanied the famous news photographer Weegee – who would become a lasting influence on him.

In 1968 TIME Magazine assigned Wasser to go to the home of the young writer Joan Didion whose book Slouching Towards Bethlehem was becoming a literary sensation. “I’d read her fiction,” said Wasser. “and she didn’t miss a thing. She was such a heavyweight person.” Wasser shot Didion at her rented house on Franklin Avenue in Hollywood, where she lived with her husband, the writer John Gregory Dunne, and their daughter, Quintana Roo. “It was a nice, cozy house,” Wasser remembers. “And she was a very easy person to talk to...

By George Platt Lynes
Located in Glenford, NY
George Platt Lynes 1948 Photograph #1 of Balanchine Ballet ‘Orpheus’. George Platt Lynes rare original vintage 1948 gelatin silver photograph (dated by the NY City Public Library) of nude dancers Francisco Moncion and Nicholas Magallanes in George Balanchine's iconic mid-20th Century ballet 'Orpheus'. Stamped on verso in dark blue ink at upper center, "GEORGE PLATT LYNES/145 EAST 52 STREET NEW YORK”. Photo shoot took place in NYC. Costumes and Set by ISAMU NAGUCHI. Photo is 7 5/8 x 9 1/4 inches, soft satin finish in excellent condition. This photograph is from Francisco Moncion's original collection given to him by George Platt Lyons. It is one of 14 different poses in the 'Orpheus' series. 8 different photographs are remaining for sale and are available on request. All are original Platt Lyons gelatin silver prints original to Moncion's collection and are stamped by the photographer. Photographs from this celebrated series are in the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art (NYC), Museum of Modern Art (MOMA, NYC), the NYC Public Library, and many university art archives. George Platt Lynes (1907–1955), was a gregarious American portrait, dance, fashion, and male nude photographer whose career spanned the late 1920s through the early 1950s. From age eighteen, Lynes entered the cosmopolitan world of the American expatriate community in Paris when he became acquainted with the salon of Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas. He began photographing authors like Stein, Jean Cocteau, André Gide, and Colette and soon established himself as one of the premier fashion photographers in the Condé Nast stable, documenting the ballet companies of George Balanchine/Lincoln Kirstein, and pursuing a private obsession with seductive images of young male nudes rarely published in his lifetime. Orpheus represents a major 20th Century artistic collaboration between composer Igor Stravinsky, choreographer George Ballanchine, and artist/designer Isamu Naguchi. Orpheus is a thirty-minute neoclassical ballet composed by Igor Stravinsky in collaboration with choreographer George Balanchine in Hollywood, California in 1947. The work was commissioned by Ballet Society, later renamed New York City Ballet, which Balanchine founded with Lincoln Kirstein. Sets and costumes were created by Isamu Noguchi. Noguchi’s lyre harp from the production became the symbol of the New York City Ballet. Francisco Moncion (July 6, 1918 – April 1, 1995) was a charter member of the New York City Ballet. Over the course of his forty year career, choreographers George Balanchine, and Jerome Robbins in the New York City Ballet created 22 major roles for Moncion including the Dark Angel...
