Eve Arnold
Eve Arnold is the photographer of this picture. Eve Arnold was born April 21, 1912 and is an American photojournalist. She was the first femal member of the Magnum Photos. Her interest in photography began in 1946 when she was working for a photo-finishing plant in New York. She learned some photographic skills in 1948 from Harper's Bazaar art director Alexei Brodovitch. Arnold is best for her images of Marily Monroe on the set of Monroe's last film (1961), The Misfits, and together they had a good relationship. Eve Arnold was the photographer Marilyn Monroe trusted the most. Eve Arnold has traveled around the world taking several pictures. I really like this picture, especially the way Marilyn Monroe is positioned. I like how the model is just laying down with closed eyes and looks very relaxed.

Lorenzo Agius
Lorenzo Agius took this wonderful picture of Madonna. I think the setting is really interesting and I really like it because it is a bit different and the setting is creative. I also like how the fashionable clothes Madonna is wearing fits in with the setting. Lorenzo Agius Art and Art History at the University of East Angli and moved to London in 1983 when he began to assist in photography. In 1989 he became a freelance photographer and specialized in fashion and portraits. He has published some of his work in Vogue, Vanity Fair and Elle and other magazines.
Lorenzo Agius is a very talented photogrpaher and on his website there are several good pictures of women, men, and fashion. He has also taken many good advertisement pictures.
Terry O'Neil
Terry O'Neil was born in July 1938 in London and is a successful Enlgish photographer. His success started when he took pictures of the celebrities and fashion in the 1960s. He began his photography career when he was working for a photographic unit for an airline at Heathrow Airport. He has taken pictures of several celebrities and bands like Judy Garland, The Beatles and the Rolling Stones. He has also taken pictures of the Royal family and several politicians. I really like the setting of this picture of the band The Beatles and I like how the band members are standing in different positions. This is one of my favorite bands so I really enjoy this picture and I think it is a really good shot.
