Beach Bums, 1950

Photographer Loomis Dean

Hollywood elite, European royalty, and the Barnum & Bailey elephants are just a few of Loomis Dean’s claims to fame. As a LIFE photographer, he captured unexpected moments, such as British playwright and composer Noel Coward in the Nevada desert. He provided cover images for 52 issues of LIFE, never tiring of the creative challenge. ―Kristen Shelton
