Eve Arnold
American · b. 1912
Arnold famously photographed Marilyn Monroe in intimate black and white portraits that similarly captured vulnerability and authenticity beneath the celebrity surface, using close range documentary techniques to reveal the private person behind the public icon.
Richard Avedon
American · b. 1923
Avedon's mid century celebrity portraiture shares Schiller's ability to strip away performative glamour through stark black and white photography, creating psychologically revealing images of Hollywood and cultural icons that expose genuine human emotion.
Bert Stern
American · b. 1929
Stern conducted the legendary Last Sitting with Marilyn Monroe in 1962, the same year as this Schiller photograph, creating intimate black and white portraits that share the same quality of capturing a vulnerable and unguarded celebrity in her final professional sessions.
