Bob Henriques Marilyn Monroe during the filming of ‘The Seven Year Itch’. New York City, USA. 1958.
"Perhaps the most unexpected thing about Bob Henriques was that he had ever been a photographer at all. While
(...) he was renowned and successful as a photojournalist through the 1950's and 60's — documenting the civil rights movement, the Cuban Revolution, photographing both movie stars and politicians, and becoming associated with Magnum in 1954 — he all but gave up on photography in the mid-‘60s and lived the majority of his life running a candle-making business in Jamaica. One can only imagine how large his archive might have been had he continued to take photographs."
