Today we look at Lisette Model (1901-1983), Austrian-born American photographer. A pioneer of her time, her photographs reflect an era when photographers used the world as their stage. She had an enthusiasm for her surroundings and human behavior, whether it was the mundane world or the rich and fashionable, she found them to be worthy of attention. "Shoot from the gut!" were the famous words that Model lived by and would repeat to her students time and again.
I became enthralled with some of her work, especially the Leg Series taken in New York.
1940-41 - Running Legs , 42nd Street, New York
She also has quite a few images of people in swimwear, this is just one.
1934 - Promenade des Anglais, Nice
1956 - Man with umbrella Belmont Race Track
You can find a book of her work available
here. Enjoy and have a fabulous weekend.
