These photographs represent a small selection of the work of Bob Willoughby, a true pioneer of 20th century photography. His photojournalistic approach, documenting this historic mid-century era of filmmaking, is unsurpassed and brings remarkable insight and sensitivity to his portraits of actors and directors in front of and behind the cameras. Present at the “Birth of the Cool”, you will find incredible images of pivotal jazz musicians in the studio and on stage, all with a particular West-Coast vibe. And finally the W-Series — photographs from around the world, the people and places Bob found beautiful and was compelled to record with his camera – some seen here for the first time. Welcome.
