As one of the world’s most recognized fashion photographers, Francesco Scavullo captured on film some of the most famous personalities of the 20th century. Acknowledged to be the dominant photographic influence on American fashion and beauty, his lighting technique and impeccable artistry created evocative portraits that defined an era.
Scavullo’s images are instantly recognizable worldwide, and have appeared in countless publications including Vogue, Cosmopolitan, Harper’s Bazaar, Rolling Stone, Time and Town & Country.
