Gloria Swanson
Photograph By: Edward Steichen
Edward Steichen was an American photographer, born in 1879. He was mostly known for his photos published in Vogue. Steichen originally wanted to pursue a career in painting and went helped create the Art Students League. His plans soon changed as in 1896 his father gave him his first camera and he became drawn to photography after that moment.
I found this photo interesting because of the woman's eyes. They seems to show a lot emotion and the picture as a whole is looks delicate and detailed. The flowers in the lace shape like they were meant to make her face the center point of the photo but at the same time it was meant to look hidden.
Photos in fashion photography have been greatly influenced by this photo. Steichen introduced a crisp, clean image rather than a fuzzy one. His images made a huge significance for theatrical and commercial photography.
