Nona Summers

A striking gelatin silver print by renowned British photographer John Swannell, this portrait of Nona Summers exemplifies his signature style of elegant, classically composed figure work. The monochromatic tones of the silver gelatin process lend the image a timeless, luminous quality, with rich contrasts that highlight Swannell's masterful command of light and shadow. Printed later from the original negative, the work reflects the enduring artistic legacy of one of Britain's most celebrated portrait and fashion photographers.
