Sir Cecil Walter Hardy Beaton

Sir Cecil Walter Hardy Beaton was a iconic photographer and in my opinion the best one in his time. He was never very skilled at technical photography but focused on perfect shutter-release moments, and was best known for fashion photography and society portraits. His achievements can be recognized in Vogue and Vanity magazines and also had the honor of snapping the royal family. His talent was untouchable and one of my all time favorite quotes comes from him.

"Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary."
