Last Images of an Icon



Getting a photographers vision and the thoughts behind his shoot really helps to understand the images a lot more. Getting insight information on the styling, the make-up and also the nature of the shoot. I like this and I think it becomes interesting and gives you more of a connection to the shoot. I feel like I understand each image, the fact that she is trying to intimidate him as a photographer, but shy to do it in the first place. I always imagine Marilyn Monroe as the epitome of a woman, what I aspire to be, confident, forward and loves her body. I found it so interesting that in fact she had to ask the view and opinion of a close friend for reassurance on if she should do it. Also that she had insecurity’s about her scars. These are stories that the images fail to tell. But make the image stronger after knowing this. You see that she’s embraced her imperfections and bared them for the world to see. I think that this is the perfect shoot to end on. Simple and honest! (below are images from this shoot)
