Greene (1922-1985), famous for his fashion photography and celebrity portraits from the golden age of Hollywood, met Marilyn Monroe on a photo shoot for Look magazine in 1953.
The pair developed an instant rapport, quickly becoming close friends and ultimately business partners.
In 1954, after helping her get out of her studio contract with 20th Century Fox, they created Marilyn Monroe Productions, Inc.
Milton and Marilyn were much more then business partners, Marilyn became a part of the Greene family.
By the time their relationship had ended in 1957, the pair had produced two feature films, in addition to more than 5, 000 photographs of the iconic beauty.
There was magic in Milton and Marilyn's working relationship.
The trust and confidence they had in each other's capabilities was on full display in each photo.
Greene passed in 1985, thinking his life's work was succumbing to the ravages of time.
His eldest son, Joshua, began a journey to meticulously restore his father's legacy.
A photographer himself, Joshua spent years researching ways to restore his father's photographs as well as cataloging and promoting Milton's vast body of work all over the world.
As a result, Joshua established The Archives, a company committed to the restoration and preservation of photography.
After spending nearly two decades restoring his father's archive, Joshua Greene and his company are widely regarded as one of the leaders in photographic restoration and have been at the forefront of the digital imaging and large-format printing revolution.
Now Joshua.
