On July 14, 1934, Lee Friedlander was born in Aberdeen, Washington. In Pasadena, he studied photography at the Art Center College of Design. Friedlander worked solo and on his own terms. His early work in 1956 was photographing jazz musicians for album covers. However, his most famous photographs are perhaps those of Madonna, appearing in the September 1985 Playboy. Friedlander's original style focused on the "social landscape." In his years of old age, his photography was focused on his surroundings. By 1988, Friedlander began photographing parks designed by Frederick Law Olmsted for a six-year commission from the Canadian Centre for Architecture in Montreal. He has published countless books and is still alive today.
