Donald Honeyman, (19 October 1919 – 1 June 2011) was an American photographer, who worked for Vogue, The Daily Telegraph and The Sunday Times, among other publications.
Honeyman was born in Iowa and attended university there, graduating in 1940. He then served as an Army combat cameraman during the war.[1] He married Gitta Sereny in 1948 and moved to London where they raised their two children.[2]
One of his most famous creations was a 1968 solarized print of Alberto Korda's famous photograph of Che Guevara, Guerrillero Heroico.[3] The print on a red background is one of his best known creations; another very famous two-tone version of the print was made by Jim Fitzpatrick.
