kelly_simmons Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 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?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holly mikel Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 http://www.hvk.org/articles/1097/0004.html (not sure if this is same one - this staff photographer was fatally mobbed by the crowd) 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.

streetlevel Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malcolm_sargent Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
