Worth, a relatively unknown photographer during his lifetime was also the original photographer for the Los Angeles Dodgers when they first moved from Brooklyn in 1958. During his time in Los Angeles he befriended many of Hollywood's 'royalty' and became known for his 'candid' style of photography, capturing stars in a way few had ever seen, from the sets of their movies to lavish Hollywood parties. Following his death in 2000 at the age of 77, Worth's family discovered his unpublished work that is now available through Capital Art, Inc.
