Peter B. Martin

Peter B. Martin, Sr. (1915–1992) was an American photographer and publisher. Martin was one of the top New York publishing photographers in the 1950s, with work published in Mademoiselle,[1] Cosmopolitan,[2][3] Life,[4] and McCall's.[5]

From the late 1940s to the 1960s, he was a fashion photographer and photojournalist. He photographed many celebrities including Frank Sinatra,[6] Bunk Johnson, Edgar Bergen,[7] Imogene Coca,[8] Edward R Murrow,[9] Arthur Schlesinger, Jr,[10] Leonard Bernstein,[11] Eleanor Roosevelt,[5] Natalie Wood, James Dean, Vera Zorina, Kim Novak, Ann Francis, Sheree North, Walt Disney, Jack Webb,[3] the Allman Brothers, Jim Morrison, The Doors, Jimi Hendrix, The Grateful Dead and Janis Joplin.[12] In addition to his photography, Martin published periodicals about photography (Figure[13] and Photography Workshop[14]) during the early 1950s, and in the late 1950s and 1960s he published television and music magazines (Movie Teen Illustrated and Pop Rock[12]).

Photography Workshop

New York was a photojournalism mecca in the 1950s, and Peter Martin's "studio 61" at 286 Bleecker Street in Greenwich Village, New York, was a gathering place for many photographers at that time. Many contributed to the Photography Workshop publication, which was devoted to the photographer's work, techniques, equipment and art.
