I've been doing a lot of lurking the internet lately -- mostly looking at pictures of Audrey Hepburn and the photography of Willy Maywald and Mark Shaw (they seem to all go hand-in-hand).
Mark Shaw just fascinates me -- and his photographs are beautiful. The women, the clothing, the styling, are all so perfect! I love all the long gloves and mid-length sleeves. Some of my favorite images and what I could find about them are below.
Photographer, Mark Shaw is best known for his extraordinary work documenting family scenes of the J.F. Kennedy's, capturing the private glamour of America's Camelot. Prior to his work with the Kennedy's, Shaw was renowned for defining an era with his much-lauded but long-forgotten fashion photography.
Shaw was afforded an unusual proximity to the models and designers of the 1950's and 1960's, allowing for a rare look behind the highly stylized presentation of fashion in the period. His work allows the viewer a true sense of the humanity behind what became archetypes of glamour.
