Photographing Models and Actors

Barbara Streisand,

Black and White


After working for Cosmopolitan, Scavullo started taking photo shots of actors and models. While working for Cosmopolitan, Scavullo has perfected his way of taking pictures due to his impeccable lighting techniques and brilliancy for creating a stylish scene. He was able to learn all sorts of techniques through the movie business. For example, “white umbrellas and muslin sheets to eradicate glare, and in close-up shots he sometimes framed faces with large sheets of cardboard, which made the skin glow”,

 
Scavullo photographed some of the most famous people like Glenn Close, Elizabeth Taylor, Kate Moss, Sting, Janis Joplin, Farah Fawcett, Madonna (as we can see at the top right corner). 

Luckily for Scavullo, not only did he become more and more popular, but he also made some actors and models popular.
