Bert Stern :
(1929-2013) was a self-taught New York fashion photographer specializing in celebrity portraits. He also directed the documentary film Jazz on a Summer's Day, and is a photographer on Stanley Kubrick's Lolita set.
During his career, he photographed Audrey Hepburn, Elyzabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, Romy Schneider and Alain Delon, Catherine Deneuve, Madonna, Kate Moss, but especially Marilyn Monroe, with whom he shot his series "The Last Sitting" for Vogue magazine in 1962. This shooting remains engraved in the memories, because it takes place only a few weeks before Marilyn's (mysterious) death.
