American photographer and film producer Sam Shaw (1912-1999) is known for the celebrated photographs he took of Marilyn Monroe, whom he met in the early 1950s, when he was working as a photographer on the set of Viva Zapata. They became close friends and Marilyn drove Sam to the movie set each morning. When asked about Sam Shaw, Marilyn said, "He always makes me look my best". When asked about Marilyn, Sam explained, "I just want to show this fascinating woman, with her guard down, at work, at ease offstage, during joyous moments in her life and as she often was - alone".
About the SAM SHAW-
Sam Shaw (1912-1999), a lifelong New Yorker, was born on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Shaw is internationally recognized for his photographs of films and movie stars, though his interests and talents covered a wide array of subjects including music, theater, sculpture, painting, literature, journalism, as well as social and political activism. Shaw's prolific six-decade career is remarkable in its breadth and diversity, and remains a historic record of the twentieth century.
In the early 1950s, Shaw began working in the film industry as a special still photographer. He captured countless stars of the cinema, including Woody Allen, Humphrey Bogart, Marilyn Monroe, Marlon Brando, Alfred Hitchcock, John Wayne, Fred Astaire, Elizabeth Taylor, Ingrid Bergman, Sophia Loren, Charlie Chaplin, Audrey Hepburn, Frank Sinatra, and many more. His photographs appeared often on the cover of LIFE and Look magazines, as well as in Paris Match, L'Europeo, The Daily Mail, Der Stern, Harper's Bazaar, Connaissance des Arts, and others. Shaw preferred to shoot his subjects without set-ups, makeup, or decorations, encouraging them to be spontaneous and improvise, a style that set Shaw's work apart from the stereotypical Hollywood glamourphotographs of the day and foreshadowed his later role as an independent filmmaker.
