The photojournalist, Lida Moser, began her career in 1947 while a student in Berenice Abbot's studio in New York. She worked initially for 'Vogue' from 1949 and then for many other leading picture magazines, including 'Harper's Bazaar' and 'Look'. Across a varied commercial career, Moser gained a particular reputation for her portraits of artists, authors and musicians, shot mainly in Britain and the United States.
