He began photographing the American social landscape in 1948.
He was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1960.
He studied at the Art Centre college of Design in Pasadena, California.
He moved to New York in 1956. There he started taking images of Jazz bands for there record cover.
Some of his famous photographs were in the September 1985 Playboy. They were black and white images of Madonna from the late 1970s. She was nude and I'm guessing young at the time. She was also a student at that time and she was only paid $25 for her set. NOW!! One of the images are worth over $30,000 at a art house auction. WHAT!!..
In later years he began to get more and more popular. In 1973 his work was honoured in France and in 1990 he was awarded a MacArthur Fellowship.
In 2005 nearly 400 of his 1950s and his latest photos were shown at a Museum of modern art in san francisco.
He has two children
