"---Gordon Parks was one of the seminal figures of twentieth century
photography. A humanitarian with a deep commitment to social justice,
he left behind a body of work that documents many of the most
important aspects of American culture from the early 1940s up until
his death in 2006..." (from his biography)

There is a Gordon Parks portrait with his Rolleiflex on the left:

Some of Parks' work.  Except for the first title, "Civil rights", you
can find several squares and cropped squares in each title; he also
used other cameras BTW:
