Born 1896 in Sun River, Montana, American photographer Clarence Sinclair Bull was hired by Samuel Goldwyn in 1920 to photograph publicity stills of the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film studio’s stars. He is most famous for his photographs of Greta Garbo, taken between 1926 and 1941. His first portrait of Garbo was a costume study for the silent romantic drama film Flesh and the Devil in September 1926.
Bull was able to study with the great Western painter, Charles Marion Russell. He also served as an assistant cameraman in 1918. Bull was skilled in the areas of lighting, retouching and printing. He was most commonly credited as “C.S. Bull.”
Bull died in 1979, in Los Angeles, California, aged 83. These beautiful photos are part of his work that Clarence Sinclair Bull took portraits of Joan Crawford in the 1920s.
