Biography

Born in New York City, Ormond Gigli graduated from the School of Modern Photography in 1942 and served in the Navy during World War II. While he was working for Rapho photo agency in 1952, a LIFE editor enlisted him to do celebrity profiles in place of the photojournalist Robert Capa, who was interested in other assignments. That same year, LIFE assigned Gigli to the Paris fashion shows; a photograph of his published in the center spread of the magazine initiated his career as one of the most sought-after magazine photographers of the next two decades. His work was published in major international periodicals, including Time, Paris-Match, LIFE, and Collier's; in 1954 he opened a Manhattan studio on East 65th Street, where he photographed leading stars of the day and covered Broadway shows for Time and LIFE. As fashion photography lost its innocence in the 1970s and 1980s, he increasingly worked for a roster of corporate clients. His work has been shown in galleries around the world and has appeared in various photographic anthologies.
