    The Harry Warnecke Studio redefined magazine photography and brought life to American celebrity culture by adding a touch of color. Up until the late 1930s colored images were basically unheard of, and black-and-white photographs in magazines, newspapers, and tabloids were the norm. It was around this time that Harry Warnecke, a photojournalist at New York's first tabloid, the New York Daily News, urged the Daily News to develop a color photography studio where he could create richly colored portraits for the magazine. The Daily News color photography studio, commonly known as the Harry Warnecke Studio, was a small but extremely successful operation. Warnecke, along with his colleagues Robert F. Cranston and Gus Schoenbachler, used a laborious color photography process called tri-color carbro during which three negatives of the same image are simultaneously exposed through different colored filters. The result was groundbreaking and for the first time in history the American public could see their favorite celebrities in color! As the Daily News' sales grew so did Warnecke's reputation as a portrait photographer, and within just a few decades the Harry Warnecke Studio had photographed hundreds of American actors, athletes, musicians, and politicians.
