Michael 'Tony' Vaccaro's work covers a rich mixture
of photojournalism, celebrities and fashion. His photographic career was
launched with a baptism of fire in the battlefields of WWII. Thereafter,
armed with a portfolio of over 4000 images and a Purple Heart, he became
chief photographer on Flair magazine. A subsequent freelance career took
in contracts from such magazines as Look, Venture and Life. Many techniques
used in his pictures were developed by Vaccaro himself and are now standard
practice amongst today's photographers. Tony Vaccaro is represented exclusively
in the UK by akg-images.
