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."

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."

The iconic 1980 Kate Bush photoshoot for the single art of “Babooshka” was captured by her older brother and frequent artistic collaborator, John Carder Bush. Taken in June 1980 to promote the leading single from her third studio album Never for Ever, this visual session perfectly mirrors the song’s themes of deception, dual identity, and marital alienation.
