Ron Laytner is one of the most widely
syndicated photo journalists of modern times. He has covered many of the world’s
major stories and fed magazines and newspapers around the world with stories
that fascinate readers and editors alike.
Born in Canada, he started his career as a young
freelance photographer for the Toronto Telegram newspaper, where he
learned the business and would make it big. Soon he was pursuing stories for Life
Magazine, Paris Match, The London Sunday Times and hundreds
of other publications around the world. Recently the London Sunday Times
Magazine included 'The Brownie' photograph Laytner took at the
beginning of his career as one of The Greatest Photographs ever taken. That
same photo was also featured in 'The Best of Life ' and in the 1964 World's
Fair at the Eastman Kodak Pavilion.
With over fifty years of great photos
behind him, Laytner is looking ahead and in addition to his book on Howard
Hughes, written for the New York Times from his interviews with Robert
Mahue, he is working on a book of his many adventures, and entering the art
world by storm with some of his greatest works of photographic and historic
importance.
