Woman with a Camera
Jacques Boucher, 1954
Gianni Penati, 1972
A Paris sidewalk-which happens to be in front of French Vogue's office building-serves as a photo-shoot location. Here, Suzy Parker is the subject. She wears a dark suit by Chanel and photographs a model in a Jacques Fath suit. Jacques Boucher's cleverly manipulated photograph appeared in the August 1, 1954, Vogue.
Woman with a Film Camera
This highly stylish Gianni Peanti photograph, which appeared in the April 15, 1972, Vogue, captures a model as she, too, is in the process of capturing something on film. She wears a gingham-check seersucker shirt jacket and vest over a pin-dot shirt; completing the look are high-waisted, wide-leg polyester pants with a crisp seam by Pat Sandler. Her dangling light meter and head scarf suggest a certain bohemianism, while the white, vacuous background gives this work a sense of placelessness. The overall effect is evocative, as one can't help but wonder what, exactly, this model finds so intriguing.
