A new exhibition at Proud Chelsea pays homage to the renowned Hollywood photographer Bob Willoughby, with a display of his work spanning over three decades.

His portraits dominated the pages of lifestyle and culture magazines in the American midcentury, and he was well known for capturing actors as various as Katherine Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe and James Dean in character and, occasionally, preoccupied in quiet pauses off stage. 

Below is a teaser of images that you'll find at the show. All are on display at Bob Willoughby: The Silver Age of Hollywood, Proud Chelsea, from 8th November 2012 to 13th January 2013.
