Brigitte Bardot Lying in Grass, 1950s French Cinema Photography Print

Before she was the global face of the French New Wave, she was a classically trained ballet dancer with a gaze that could command any lens. This monochrome composition captures the young actress in a rare moment of repose, reclining in tall grass with a tranquil river and distant tree line forming a soft-focus backdrop.

About Brigitte Bardot

Brigitte Bardot became an icon of 1950s and 1960s French cinema and style. Mid-century glamour photography captures the style of the film stars of the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s. Black and white photography removes colour so shape, light and emotion lead. A fine art photograph is composed, printed and displayed with the same care as a painting.
