Leslie Gill: A Classical Approach to Photography, 1935–1958 is an exhibition catalogue published by the New Orleans Museum of Art in 1983. Edited and organized by Tina Freeman and Frances McLaughlin-Gill (with essays by Owen Edwards), the publication serves as a comprehensive retrospective documenting the career of American photographer Leslie Gill.

The book highlights Gill's influential style through several key elements:

• Bridging Fine Art and Commerce: The volume chronicles Gill’s pioneering role in mid-century commercial, editorial, and fashion photography, demonstrating how he infused everyday advertising assignments with the rigor of fine art.

• The "Classical" Aesthetic: It explores his mastery of still life and meticulous composition, heavily inspired by classical European painting techniques. He was among the first to bring a formalist, painterly sensitivity to modern color photography.

• Diverse Portfolio: The catalog features a curated selection of his black-and-white and color imagery, spanning intricate studio compositions, travel photography, and intimate portraits of prominent 20th-century artists, writers, and cultural figures.

Ultimately, the book frames Gill not just as a commercial photographer, but as a formal innovator whose classical sensibilities helped shape the landscape of modern photographic design.
