The Strauss Peyton Studio in Kansas City, formed in 1908 by the photographic duo Benjamin R Strauss and Homer K. Peyton, is still open today and has continued to be a major contributor to the world of portrait photography. Homer Peyton was an extremely talented artist who excelled in manipulating image. He created unique works of art by adding pencils or crayons to the negatives to create a unique background. He also sculpted shadows and added a wider range of tones to portraits to enhance their depth. From 1908 to 1927, Strauss and Peyton photographed celebrities and musicians, who came to town to attend theatrical and film performances.

Charles Chaplin
The original photograph of Charlie Chaplin was taken at the Strauss-Peyton Studio in 1921. It was, of course, in black and white. There were many versions of this photograph, reproduced in various ways, and Charlie often gave them away to his friends.
