We will start with the iconic Gordon Parks
Mr. Parks started is long courageous career as a fashion photographer.
The first job Mr. Parks embarked on was shooting dresses for Murphy's department store.
As a black photographer in the early forty's this was no easy feat.
Mr. Parks persiveared through many adversities to get his foot in the door, and those doors were the likes of Vogue, and life magazine. Here are a few photos from the works of Gordon Parks.
