Photographer: Wingate Paine (American,1915 - 1987) - During the early 1960's Wingate Paine was one of the most successful advertising/fashion photographers in New York commanding large fees for his work and perhaps second only to Richard Avedon and Irving Penn in the New York photography world at that time. In the mid 1960's he turned his focus to the female nude and female beauty in general utilizing both still images and motion picture film. His work is often compared to British photographer Sam Haskins a contemporary of Paine's from whom he undoubtedly drew inspiration. Later in life he retired from photography to concentrate on sculpture, Hatha yoga and eventually became a spiritual teacher and author. Paine died in Santa Fe, New Mexico in 1987.
