Tim Page is part legend part myth. Here is a deep dive. His story is one of the great reads of photography. lets start with his work, this is his a bit neglected website. |
|
|
Here is an overview by Time magazine. |
|
|
Icons of Photography: Tim PageTim Page was born on May 25, 1944, in Tunbridge Wells and grew up in Orpington. At seventeen, he ran away from that archetypal Home County exurbia - to find himself, probably. He found a calling, anyway - in Laos where he acquired a camera and stumbled on a coup. |
|
|
Tim Page's Vietnam WarTim Page (right) with Sean Flynn, shot by Mike Herr, author of Dispatches, at the mouth of the Perfume River. Tim Page is a photojournalist of the old school. He arrived in Saigon, South Vietnam, in 1965, when he was 20 years old. |
|
|
An article about his friendship with Michael Herr one of the writers of Full Metal Jacket and writer of the voiceover in Apocalypse Now because he was one of the most talented and interesting reporters out of that war. |

|
|
The Irving Penn FoundationAs a young man, after graduating from the Philadelphia Museum School of Industrial Art in 1938, Irving Penn harbored dreams of becoming a painter. In 1941-42, he spent a year in Mexico painting, but he found his results to be disappointing and destroyed all but a small group of drawings. |
