George Frederic Cannons
[edit]Hollywood Portrait Photographer of the 1930s
Cannons was born in 1897 and went to Hollywood after the Great War[1] . His reputation as a stills photographer was first established during the silent film period working for Mack Sennett[2]. In the early 1930s he continued working in Hollywood with portraits of leading stars including Dolores Del Rio and Jean Harlow. After returning to England in 1934 he set up his own studio in Dover Street in central London known as Cannons of Hollywood[3] and exploited his fame and specialised in glamour portraits. Cannons found work hard to come by due to the number of established photographers in London’s West End. This led Cannons to seek work as a stills photographer for J. Arthur Rank who was based at Pinewood Studios and he was assigned to work with Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger[4] on two of their finest films. In 1946 he created the colour plates of Jean Simmons during the filming of Black Narcissus. In 1948 he was promoted to the position of principal stills photographer on The Red Shoes and responsible for the iconic stills of Moira Shearer during the ballet sequence. His publicity portraits of Moira Shearer, Anton Walbrook, Leonide Massine and Ludmilla Tcherina for The Red Shoes are also particularly striking. This undoubtedly elevated his career and along with Fred Daniels he was credited as the best portrait photographer to work with Powell and Pressburger[5]. He continued to work for Rank and in 1949 he took a series of portraits of Valerie Hobson which are in the National Portrait Gallery collection in London. He died in 1972.

Billie Love
[edit]Billie Love was a photographer born into a theatrical family. Her father, Joe Murgatroyd, created a comedy double act with his wife Josie Bradly. Billie Love and her sister Helga were on the London stage from an early age. In 1950 Ms Love performed in Wild Violets at the Stoll Theatre close to High Holborn. This was followed by Oklahoma! in which she sang I Cain't Say No. Love first took up photography when she was performing in Oklahoma! at the Stoll Theatre and documented the stage hands, set builders and cast members back stage. Billie Love took her work to photographer Fred Daniels[6] who had taken a series of portraits of her as Ado Annie in his studio. Daniels recognised her raw talent and encouraged her to pursue a career in photography. In 1956 Love shared his studio at Coventry Street and borrowed film sets Fred Daniels had obtained from A Matter of Life and Death directed by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger[7] to create an effective spiral background to her early portraits. On Daniels' advice she created a theatrical name for herself and chose Amanda. In 1959 Love set up Amanda Studio at 20 Orchard Street. In 1968 she joined forces with Dobi Adeane and opened the Albany Studio in Marylebone. By this time her clients included Dinah Sheridan, Ian Carmichael, Peter Ustinov and Jack Warner. Several of her photographs and poems appeared in The Lady between 1973 to 1989[8]. In 1989 she moved to the Isle of Wight and began the third part of a career as a collector of rare photographs specialising in late Victorian and Edwardian life. Together with her partner Anna Shepherd they created the Billie Love Historical Collection and set up exhibitions at Dimbola Museum and Galleries at Freshwater Bay on the Isle of Wight. The fascination with Victorian and Edwardian life continued and she published a book entitled How to Become a Child. The narrator offers advice on the pitfalls of family life. All the photographs in the book were from their archive[9] and the commentary reflects Billie Love's lively and humorous mind. She continued to publish books until her death in 2012 at the age of 88.

You have to keep those top header bars on the article, then click resubmit. I did this all for you, so hopefully someone will review the article within the next few days.

It was only re-submitted for review (when I re-submitted it) three days ago. You'll need to be patient - everyone here is a volunteer, so it may take a bit longer to review your page.

Hello
In Wikipedia, we do not accept articles that do not meet the quality standards. And you certainly cannot get things done by asking again and again.
We have a huge backlog that needs to be taken care of, and it can require time.
Regarding your article, I believe that it fails to mention HOW she is notable. You need to explain WHAT makes her important enough to have an article on her rather than how she is related to other people. Of course, the latter can be included, but certainly not without the former
Happy editing, and ask an editor for help if you need it! Cheers
