Murray Korman (March 16, 1902 – August 10, 1961) was an American publicity photographer. He made his reputation in New York City as a "Hollywood style high key high gloss glamour"[1] photographer whose clients ranged from showgirls to famous entertainers to members of "cafe society".[1] Unlike other major theatrical portraitists of the time, he created his images in the camera, rather than manipulating them later at the printing stage.[1] During the height of his fame, he was considered "the expert on beauty in his time".[2]
