Turning toward the camera - a selection of self-portraits by Van Leo, circa 1939-1945

 

*


Van Leo (born Levon Alexander Boyadjian; 20 November 1921, Jihane, Turkey - 18 March 2002, Cairo, Egypt), Armenian-Egyptian photographer. A prolific portrait photographer - many of his sitters were contemporary celebrities - he is now perhaps better remembered for his hundreds of imaginative self-portraits. 


You can read more about him on his Wikipedia entry and at this website and at this.

Circa 1996.
