Vivienne (photographer)

Florence Vivienne Mellish (1889–1982), known simply as Vivienne, was a British photographer and singer.[1]

She was married to the artist Ernest George Entwistle (1877–1963), and took up photography in 1934, in order to assist him and their photographer son, Antony Beauchamp.[1] Another son, Clive Entwistle, was an architect and civil engineer.[1]

Her autobiography, They Came to My Studio: Famous People of Our Time was published in 1956.[2]

She appeared as a "castaway" on the BBC Radio programme Desert Island Discs on 22 July 1963.[3]

208 of her works are in the National Portrait Gallery, as is one photograph of her, and works by Beauchamp.[1]
