leo aarons??

Hi everyone, Im Kelly and a student from South Wales, UK. Im doing a

project on the photographer Leo Aarons but im finding it difficult

to track down any information on him. All i know is that he is

American, has produced covers for 'Good Housekeeping' and 'Woman'

magazine during the 1950's and that two of his photographs were used

for 2 coloramas in the 1950's in Grand Central Station NYC. Can

anybody help me at all??

http://www.leonardaarons.5u.com (not sure if this is same one - he is still alive)

http://www.kodak.com/US/en/corp/features/coloramas/

at this kodak site they have a listing of every photographer whose images were used as coloramas - Leo Aarons was not listed.

In a cursory search, I only found one photo by him referenced...it was an interior shot for Good Housekeeping and the photo was listed as "missing".

Did you pick him or was he assigned? If you can - I'd look for somebody else... my two pence anyway.

Hi Kelly, I live in Epsom, Surrey UK. I worked for Leo Aarons in the 1960s managing his business. At that time he had a fine house with studio at 13 Tite Street, Chelsea. At the time his income derived entirely from the library of his own work that he had built up over the years and it was that side of the business that I looked after. It is gone midnight and I just happened to type his name into Google - this is the first time anything has ever come up. I will rack my brain for a day or two and see what I can remember about him: it's too late to do anything more tonight. I am assuming you still want to pursue the subject. I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely, Malcolm Sargent
