Biografie

Early Life and Education

Family Background: He was the son of Ann Marie (O'Hara) and Harry Parnell Vachon.
Education: Vachon graduated from Cretin High School (now Cretin-Derham Hall High School). He then earned a bachelor’s degree in 1934 from the University of St. Thomas, formerly known as the College of St. Thomas, and continued his studies at the Catholic University of America in Washington D.C. between 1935 and 1936.

Career with the Farm Security Administration (FSA)

Early Role: In 1937, Vachon began his career at the Farm Security Administration as an assistant messenger. He initially had no intention of becoming a photographer.
Transition to Photography: As he took on responsibilities maintaining the FSA photographic file, his interest in photography grew. With encouragement from Ben Shahn and guidance from Walker Evans and Arthur Rothstein, he began taking photographs himself.
Documentary Work: Vachon became a member of the regular FSA photographic staff, documenting the conditions of rural poverty during the Great Depression. He traveled extensively, capturing poignant scenes in the Plains states, including Nebraska and Omaha.
Photographic Style: His work was characterized by its candid and unembellished portrayal of people and places, avoiding artificial beautification often found in commercial photography.

Magazine Work: He became a staff photographer for *Life* magazine (1947-1949) and then worked at *Look* magazine for over twenty-five years beginning in 1947. During his time with these magazines, he covered a wide range of subjects.
Notable Assignments: In 1953, Vachon took the first photographs of Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio near Banff, Canada.
