Bert Stern:Original Madman

Iconic photographer Bert Stern has died aged 83.He was a self-taught photographer,perhaps known best for 'The Last Sitting' , a collection of 2,500 photographs taken of Marilyn Monroe for Vogue over a three-day period in June 1962, six weeks before her death. The Last Sitting was published into a book 1982 and then again in 2000, he also recreated The Last Sitting with actress Lindsay Lohan and has shot many others including Audrey Hepburn,Madonna,Elizabeth Taylor and Twiggy. Stern is widely regarded, among others photographers, for redefining fashion imagery in the fifties and sixties. There is also a film based on Stern's life, Bert Stern:Orginal Madman. A photo shoot of his that I really like is the from 1963 for LIFE magazine, featuring Cary Grant as Charlie Chaplin.
