DAY 69: All about Eve

Today, after work, I went to see "All about Eve" exhibition (Art Sensus Galley, 7 Howick Place).

A photography exhibition of Eve Arnold´s work.

She is such an inspiration for photographers. She started her career as a photographer when she was almost 40, and she took some of the most beatiful pictures ever.
She captured the essence and the feelings of the people she portrayed.

The exhibition shows you pictures of celebrities, from the time she documented the making of the films. Nice pictures of Marilyn Monroe, Peter O´toole, Marlene Dietrich, Angelica Houston and many more.

She also travelled a lot, and have some great pictures from Rusia, China, Mongolia, etc.

The series of veiled woman is amazing, because, even when you can´t see their faces, she managed to  capture their eyes, their attitude...
One of my favorite pictures is a photograph of a veiled woman in a market, her hands tell her story, I stood there staring at it for almost 15 minutes.

But the most important, she was a curious person.

"...What keep me gping through the decades? Curiosity. The very unpredictability of photography enthralled me. The possibilities were endless..." Eve Arnold
