Born in 1908 in the United States, Leslie Gill was known especially for photographing popular culture. He did a lot of fashion photography in which styles were becoming more and more available to different socioeconomic classes. A lot of his work appeared in Harpers Bazaar, many of which appeared directly on the cover page. He studied art in Massachusetts and eventually landed a job as an art director for a popular fashion magazine. One of the his major innovations was the lighting and style in which he was able to capture a scene or a subject.
Photography
Although his photographs proved to be unique it was his constant push to use different equipment and materials that make his truly different. He began using larger photographs to convey his work. His goal was to bring new relationships between common and uncommon things. His work was both used commerically as well as observed as appreciating artistic techniques.
