The last photo session of the legendary film actress Merlin Monroe makes open the mouths of many of her fans today, many years after her death. The famous shooting took place at the request of the magazine Vogue. The location for the photo session was chosen hotel Bel-Air in California. Unlike the rest of the photo sessions, Merlin Monroe, this one took place for three days and is considered the most large-scale shooting of an actress, because it has two and a half thousand photographs. The famous American photographer Bert Stern took Merlin six weeks before her death. Later, Stern himself collected the last photographs of Merlin Monroe in a separate book.
Image of Merlin Monroe for a photo shoot
Talking about the images of Merlin Monroe for the last photo shoot can, probably, endlessly. During the shooting she changed them several dozen times. Starting from the most outspoken, where the Hollywood star co-starred in the nude, covered only with a semi-transparent handkerchief, and ending with the story snapshots where Monroe acts as an elegant lady in an evening dress or fur coat. You might think that this shoot took much longer than it actually was.
Interesting photos was the storyline where Merlin Monroe was filmed with a camera. Thus, we can assume that the star captures itself. This series of images is done in black and white. Merlin is dressed in a business strict dress, belted with a wide belt. And already in the next plot Monroe is presented in portrait photos close-up with bare shoulders and ornaments.
The line of pictures with the camera was made on the first day. Then Stern and Monroe worked together without the assistants from the magazine. In this period, ten photographs were taken on a white background, where the photographer used natural scattered light. Thus, the photos turned out with a touch of fairy-tale atmosphere. This series of recent photographs of Merlin Monroe was recently auctioned, and the final price of the lot eventually exceeded the initial price fourfold.
