Sophia Loren.. an iconic Italian actress known for her beauty and talent. Throughout her career, she was photographed by numerous renowned photographers. David Montgomery is the mastermind behind this great shot of the star in the late 60's, perfectly capturing her beauty and feeling of the times.

In the 60's pop art was on everyone's minds. It was characterized by vibrant colors, bold graphics, and a focus on popular culture. Some photographers resisted its influence but David was able to embrace and adapt with the movement to create this beautiful and striking portrait of Loren's isolated face. What a shot.
