ecil Beaton got his first glimpse of a 'photograph' when he was in his mothers bed looking and watching her open her letters. There on the bed was a post card with Miss Lily Elsie on the front, he was totally dazed by the picture and 'caused his heart to leap'. This is where he got his inspiration from to be a photographer and he even started to collect picture postcards of his favourite heroine.
As well as photography he was a very keen stage and film designer, a writer, a very keen gardener on his own estate and a 'grand marshal of high society'.
These are some of the iconic images that Cecil produced and gave him his big name in the photography industry.
