Marilyn Monroe by Bert Stern for Vogue, 1962

"I didn't want anything to limit her in time or space. I didn't want any sets or anything that would distract the eye from her or limit the depth of the background. I wanted pure Marilyn and I wanted her in space, a space made up of light…a clear nowhere."

Marilyn Monroe by Bert Stern for Vogue, 1962

"Now she was really getting turned on. I could see it, I could feel it. And if I didn't shoot when she expected me to, she'd laugh. All I had to do was pause for two seconds, miss a beat, or change my mind and do something off tempo, and she'd respond. And we would go a step higher."
