Lee Miller - Photographer

[Estella*]

she was one of the most stunningly beautiful women of all time i think and incorporated style (that was what vogue thought at the time, too)
but not only that, she was also corageous, artistic (a very talented photographer! you can see her work at www.leemiller.co.uk)...
she is THE beauty icon for me...someone who has inner beauty that shines out...

some of the pictures might be by man ray (she worked with him)
i´m not sure which since she was a muse to many photographers...the third one is definetely by man ray

booktitle (the lives of lee miller by arthur penrose, her son)

 

[Estella*]

why?

o it was for sanitary towels (correct term??) and in 1927 it was thought very tasteless...after that her career went downhill...

Thanks for posting. The pictures are beautiful and now I have someone new to read about.

Thanks for the links, Anna Karina. She had such a strong style and a striking look, no wonder she was a muse to Man Ray and other artists of her day. She also led a very interesting life as she was an artist in her own right.
