Clifford Coffin (1913–1972) was an American fashion photographer, particularly for Vogue magazine, and a "wild and eccentric bohemian". [1] He has also been called "the greatest of Vogue magazine's 'lost' photographers", [2] and an "outspoken homosexual with a heroic appetite for self-destruction, his bad behaviour was legendary". [2]
Clifford Coffin: The Varnished Truth – Photographs from Vogue 1945 to 1955 was an exhibition at London's National Portrait Gallery for three months in 1997. [2]
Coffin suffered from alcoholism and drug addiction, and died of throat cancer in Pasadena, California, in 1972, aged 58. [2]
