Le Dragon, Harper's Bazaar, Paris
1963
A surrealist fashion photograph by Melvin Sokolsky, *Le Dragon* captures a model suspended inside a giant transparent bubble floating above the cobblestone streets of Paris. The gelatin silver print showcases Sokolsky's masterful interplay of dreamlike fantasy and high fashion, with the city's iconic architecture serving as a striking backdrop. The image, created for *Harper's Bazaar*, exemplifies the photographer's groundbreaking "Bubble" series, which redefined the boundaries of editorial photography in the 1960s.
