Philip A. Harrington, The Opera House
United States  • 1920

Presentation

Phillip A. Harrington was born in 1920 and grew up in Holland, Michigan. He developed an interest in photography at an early age, joining the high school camera club at 16. At the age of 19, Harrington moved to New York City to study at the Clarence. H. White school of photography, a prestigious institution with graduates such as Margaret Bourke-White, Dorothea Lange, Laura Gilpin, and Ralph Steiner. Harrington studied under Clarence White, Jr., who described Harrington as being among the school's best students. 

He went on to work as a photographer for Look Magazine, National Geographic and the United States Navy among others. Among the notable subjects of Harrington's lens were various 20th century presidents, kings, actors, and artists. His travels took him around the globe at a time when Americans seldom travelled internationally. In 1956 the editors at Look Magazine stated that Harrington travelled 15,000 miles a year on assignment.
