Vogue - October 1960 Photographic Print by John Rawlings at AllPosters.com

John Rawlings (1912 – 1970) single-handedly gave commercial fashion photography a sharp artistic focus. He transformed it into a medium brimming with color, light and fascinating composition. Rawlings created over 200 magazine covers for Conde-Nast. When his work for “Vogue” and “Glamour” hit the stands, sales and respect for fashion photography skyrocketed.

In this whimsical beauty shot, which appeared in the October 1, 1960, Vogue, a model poses behind a spray of water droplets. She wears a black sequined cap by Adolfo of Emme and her makeup consists of heavy black eyeliner, pale blue eye shadow, and soft pink lipstick. Sending a steely gaze to photographer John Rawlings, the model gives this relatively stock image an air of intimacy. Rawlings created this work toward the end of his 30-year career with Condé Nast, during which he created more than 200 Vogue and Glamour covers in addition to thousands of feature photographs.
