Bert Stern (October 3,1929- June 26, 2013) was a self taught photographer. His images appear to have more of a personal/intimate feeling to them, because of how the subject(s) occupies the frame. His work to seems to me to have a settle sexiness to them. His photos are not too provocative, but at the same time, they are not too innocent. I feel like Stern's way of capturing his models enables his viewers to read more into them. The way the woman's eyes peak from the sunglasses, the placement of the glass and pyramid as well as the reflection in the glass and the way Monroe caresses the roses as well as her facial expressions, I feel expresses more meaning and seduction into these photos.
