The play of light and shadow defines the sharp silhouette of this print, captured during her early years at Warner Brothers. Elmer Fryer’s composition focuses on the architectural lines of Davis’s dark evening gown, featuring a distinctive peplum waist and halter neck.
About Bette Davis
Bette Davis (1908–1989) was a two-time Oscar winner famous for All About Eve. Mid-century glamour photography captures the style of the film stars of the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s. Studio portrait photographers of Hollywood’s golden age used dramatic lighting to create the glamour of the stars. Without colour, a photograph relies on contrast, texture and composition, which is why black and white feels timeless.
