The photographer keeping Old Hollywood glamour alive

No matter the era, no matter the star, Liverpool born photographer John Stoddart captures his subjects with an air of glamour often lost in our modern world. Bringing back the power of Old Hollywood one shot at a time, his photography encapsulates the mystery and intrigue which once surrounded the silver screen.

From renowned auteur Martin Scorsese and screen icon Lauren Bacall, to the ethereal Tilda Swinton and eminent Anthony Hopkins, Stoddart has captured the greats at their greatest, keeping their powerful presence at the forefront.
