He moved to Paris in 1920 and began work as a fashion draftsman, publishing his work in Harper's Bazaar and Fairchild's magazine. In 1925 he became the chief photographer for French Vogue. He moved to New York in 1935 to work exclusively for Harper's Bazaar. He published two picture books, Hellas and Egypt, and shortly after moved to Hollywood where he became involved in the motion picture industry and photographing celebrities.
