Outerbridge, Paul

American photographer Paul Outerbridge (1896-1958) first achieved success in the 1920s by applying an innovative modernist aesthetic to advertising photography. During the 1930s he perfected his technique with the complex tri-color carbro process, earning his reputation as a pioneer in color photography. He also worked as a freelance writer and photographer contributing articles to photographic and travel magazines. His book, Photographing in color, was published by Random House in 1940.
