    John Engstead (1909 - 1983) was an American photographer who began his career in 1926, when he was hired as an office boy by Paramount Pictures' head of studio publicity. In 1927, he pleased his boss by arranging a photo session for actress Clara Bow with photographer Otto Dyar using an outdoor setting which was unusual at that time. Engstead's creative direction of photographs of actress Louise Brooks led to a promotion to art supervisor, where he oversaw the production of Paramount's publicity stills. In 1932, due to a strike by photographers, Engstead assumed the position of studio portrait photographer, despite having never previously photographed anyone. Actor Cary Grant posed for his practice shots. In the 1940s through the 1960's, Engstead photographed many celebrities, including Joan Crawford, Bette Davis, Maureen O'Hara, Shirley Temple, Judy Garland, Marlene Dietrich, Marilyn Monroe and others. Unlike other photographers, he often shot his subjects at home or outdoors. He built a studio in Los Angeles that became a gathering place for celebrities.
