Audrey Hepburn is photographed for Life magazine during the filming of Sabrina in Malibu in September of 1953. The role came following the success of her performance in Roman Holiday and would see Hepburn nominated for an Academy Award and take home a BAFTA.
It’s the way her mid-dance glance feels candid rather than posed — the Life-magazine shoot energy really comes through in this print. The 1953 Malibu setting adds a breezy, golden-age feel that makes it a standout on my wall.
The black-and-white capture of Hepburn on set in Malibu feels candid yet composed, exactly the kind of behind-the-scenes moment I wanted for my office wall. The print quality really brings out the texture of her dress and the soft California light.
There's a quiet timelessness to this shot that the paper quality really honors—the matte finish keeps the 1953 Malibu light from feeling too glossy or modern. It arrived well-packed and looks just as striking framed in my hallway as I hoped.
