Ева Арнолд ♥ Eve Arnold

Eve Arnold

На 4.01.2012 ,на 99 години, почина една от най великите фотографки на миналия век Ева Арнолд. Тя имаше редкият талант да улавя човешката  уязвимост под блясъка на холивудските звезди. Нейните снимки са трогателни и красиви, независимо от темата. Ева Арнолд е родена във Филаделфия през  1912 година и е известна като първата жена фотограф в американската фото агенция Magnum. Известна е също и като фотографката, заснела някои от най-забележителните кадри на Мерилин Монро.

Реших да публикувам малка ретроспектива в паметта на Ева, един от най-великите фотографи, чиято работа означава много за мен.
