Hans Namuth
 

 
Born in Essen, Germany, Hans Namuth (1915 - 1990) was arrested and briefly jailed for distributing anti-Nazi materials in July 1933. His father intervened and arranged for him to leave Germany for Paris. There he met many German expatriates, including photographer George Reisner, who, in 1935, introduced the 20-year-old Namuth to photography.
 
Years later, living in the United States, and at that time supporting himself primarily with fashion photography, Namuth approached Jackson Pollock and asked to photograph the artist working in his studio. Pollock agreed, encouraged by his wife, Lee Krasner. The resulting images helped to demystify Pollock's famous "drip" technique of painting, revealing it to be a deliberative process rather than a random splashing of paint. They "helped transform Pollock from a talented, cranky loner into the first media-driven superstar of American contemporary art," according to critic Ferdinand Protzman. Not satisfied with black and white stills, Namuth wanted to create a film that focused simultaneously on Pollock and his painting. To do this, he arranged to have Pollock paint on a large sheet of glass as he filmed from underneath it.
 
In November 1950, Namuth and Pollock's relationship came to an abrupt end after an argument in which each called the other a phony. From then on, Pollock reverted to a more figure-oriented style of painting, leading some to say that his sessions with Namuth robbed Pollock of his rawness and made him feel disingenuous about doing things for the camera that he had originally done spontaneously. Nevertheless, Namuth's photographs of Pollock at work heightened Pollock's fame and led to a greater appreciation of his work.
 
Namuth also photographed many other painters (de Kooning, Rauschenberg, Rothko) and architects (Wright, Johnson Kahn), and got some particularly reclusive figures such as Clyfford Still to agree to be photographed.

Loomis Dean

 
Loomis Dean (1917-2005) was a veteran LIFE magazine photographer who shot pictures of circus clowns, crown princes, Hollywood stars, Madagascar lemurs and SS Andrea Doria survivors in a five-decade long career. The son of an artist, he originally studied art at a local school where, he said, "I proved I could not draw." After discovering photography, he got a job as a photographer for the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus. His first assignment for LIFE came in 1946. In 1960, he spent three weeks in Spain with Ernest Hemingway for an assignment on bullfighting, and in 1989 published "Hemingway's Spain," about his experiences with the writer. After LIFE folded in 1972, Loomis Dean worked on a freelance basis for movie studios and news magazines.
