Maurice Beck and Helen Macgregor
(1886-1960; 1876-circa 1954), PhotographersArtist of 6 portraits
Maurice Beck and Helen MacGregor worked together in a studio in Marylebone where they were the chief photographers for British Vogue. There was something nonchalant about the lack of direction or rules with which they placed their lights: their haphazard effect often caused shadows with which other more professional photographers would have probably dispensed. However, their results were often notable.
