If you wanted glamour and sex appeal, Paul Hesse was the Hollywood Photographer to see.
By the late 1930’s, Hesse had become known as one of the best commercial photographers in New York, and traveled to Hollywood several times a year to shoot photos of movie stars for Photoplay and for national advertising campaigns for companies like Maybelline.
