Lauren Hutton, 1966

$750 In stock

Taken in 1966 for a Christmas issue, 12 Life photographers were given an assignment to do nudes.

This image of Lauren Hutton was actually photographed on a black background. Milton also created a master negative from a photograph of a lit burlap scrim. Taking both negatives and sandwiching them together, a process was done that created a dye transfer print.

Lauren, who was only 18 years old at the time, was very hesitant in doing a nude photograph, but Milton promised it would be done elegantly.

The composition is so striking—Lauren’s pose against that pure black backdrop gives the whole piece a timeless, almost sculptural feel. You can really sense the 1966 magazine assignment’s intimacy and elegance. It’s a beautiful print that holds its own in a bright room.

The black background in this shot makes Lauren practically glow—the contrast is stunning in person. It's a piece of history that looks even better framed than it did on my screen.
