“Working with Horst was a Master Class in Living”~ Carmen Dell’refice. Model“Horst was in my opinion one of the great photographers of his time. He was a perfectionist in every sense of the word. There is nothing accidental in his work - everyone, every shadow, every movement enhances what he finds in front of his camera and the results speak handsomely for the success of his approach. His ethos of simplicity and the very way in which he constructed his images - as a form of photographic sculpture has always been an inspiration to me. But most of all everything about Horst resonates with true style and that to my mind is irresistible.”~ Tom Ford Carmen Dell’refice started modelling at the age of 15 years old for Vogue and is still vey much demand at the age of 90 years old!In this, one of Horst’s most elegant and sought after images, a woman looks at the camera sideways with her head in a white turban and resting on a sheet covered headrest. Two hands are massaging her head. In order to shoot this picture Horst gently told Carmen to just pretend she was being groomed for a major event that evening.I feel relaxed just looking at it.
