3. Examples of photographs

4. Photograph of Marilyn Monroe
Eve Arnold took many photos of
Marilyn Monroe over her life as
a photographer. Often the
photos would be taken at her
home while she lounges about
or sometimes the photo would
be taken on a film set while she
read a script. You can see in a
lot of the photos that Eve Arnold
tried to capture her beauty,
making sure she smiled or
showed signs of my being in all
of her photos.

5. Composition and Techniques
Often there are meanings to
Eva’s photos, whether it be
problems with famine on the
streets of the US or introduction
of immigrants to the country.
The bottom two photos there are
two girls of different races sat
next to each other. This give me
the sense that there is some
equality at this point in time.
