Marc Henrie

Marc de Henrie (born in Cockfosters, Hertfordshire, United Kingdom) is a British photographer.

Henrie was educated at The Lady Holles School and the City of London School For Boys.

When Marc Henrie was 8 years old, his father gave him his first camera, a Voigtländer Vito. At an early age he learned to candidly photograph friends and neighbours along with their family pets. Henrie's father, an amateur photographer, taught him exposure and printing.

Henrie's first published picture was a black and white photo of a nun with a pigeon perched on her shoulder while she was caught dozing on a London park bench. Henrie's father saw his son's photo and sent it off to the where Marc had his first published and paid photo for £3. Henrie's professional career began in 1951, when his head teacher saw examples of his work at school and then asked him to take his school photos at the end of his term for paid work.

Henrie's father knew an executive at Gainsborough Pictures and so at 13 years of age Henrie went to Islington to see how the films were made.

Henrie's first film job was at Bray Studios where Hammer horror films were made in the early 1950s. At Bray Studios, Henrie began to learn how to mix chemicals, move lights and create lighting exposure. At 16, Marc Henrie's first commercial star portrait was of the B actress, Sophie Fellows. This is where he developed his own technique of lighting for film studios which soon after he was offered employment at RKO Pictures through an introduction from his uncle, Stanley Samuel Neal.

Henrie began work at RKO Pictures in Culver City, California in 1954 and continued to work as a Hollywood union stills photographer for R.K.O., Warner Brothers, MGM and Universal until 1959. During this time Henrie photographed many of Hollywood's most notable screen legends including Doris Day, Tony Curtis, Claude Rains, Robert Taylor, David Niven, Audrey Hepburn, Jayne Mansfield,Paul Newman, Grace Kelly, Rita Hayworth, Bing Crosby and Marilyn Monroe.

In 1959, Henrie went back to the UK to work for Miracle Films with Tony Tenser who opened up a film studio at 72 Wardour Street, London for visiting film stars. Some of the notable film talent photographed by Henrie at Wardour Street were Brigitte Bardot, Simone Signoret, Jane Mansfield, and Gina Lollobrigida. The film producer Michael Klinger hired Henrie and introduced him to the composer David Whitaker of Hammer Films. Film stars photographed through Hammer Films were Ron Moody, Lynn Dalby, Peter Cushing.
