Eve Arnold
American · b. 1912

Bert Stern

Stern conducted the famous Last Sitting with Marilyn Monroe in 1962, producing deeply intimate portrait photographs that similarly reveal the fragile and unguarded side of the icon just weeks before her death, sharing both subject matter and a confessional documentary sensibility.

Avedon's celebrity portrait photography in black and white is renowned for stripping away public personas to expose psychological depth and vulnerability, qualities that directly parallel Schiller's documentary approach to capturing Monroe's unguarded humanity.
