This is a photo of Marilyn Monroe taken by a very famous photographer; Richard Avedon. Avedon was an American fashion and portrait photographer. An obituary published in The New York Times said that "his fashion and portrait photographs helped define America's image of style, beauty and culture for the last half-century"
I really like the way his photos are so effortlessly beautiful. The women looks fresh and fun.
Here is a photo of mine in that style:
I wanted to have a photo that is similar to Avedons, yet, I wanted to differentiate it. Here, I had my model stand up so I could get more of her body in. We are good friends, meaning that I was able to make her laugh and whilst doing so I subtly took the photo. I edited it with a white to grey gradient so that the photo looked more pure and innocent with her smiling.
