Garrett-Howard

Photographers Murray Garrett and Gene Howard.

Murray Garrett formed the firm Garrett-Howard, Inc., with life long friend, portrait photographer Gene Howard (a former vocalist with Bob Chester, Stan Kenton and Gene Krupa) as his partner. In a very short time they became one of the most successful photographic concerns in Hollywood, offering both candid and studio photographic services to publications, the entertainment industry, as well as filling a very special niche...covering personal events for their celebrity clients.

In the sixties, Leo Monahan, now a world renowned illustrator joined Garrett-Howard as a partner and art director and the firm's name became Studio Five, Incorporated.
