Photography Appreciation
Born on January 16, 1921, in Staten Island, New York, Francesco Scavullo's fascination with photography began early. He would transform his sisters into Hollywood starlets using makeup and hairstyles, capturing their images with his father's camera. This passion led him to establish a makeshift studio and darkroom in his home, laying the foundation for his future career.
Scavullo's professional journey took off when he started working for a fashion catalog studio, eventually moving to Vogue magazine. Under the mentorship of photographer Horst P. Horst, he refined his craft.
In 1948, he created a cover for Seventeen magazine, which secured him a contract and propelled him into the fashion photography scene. He later opened his own studio in Manhattan, becoming a sought-after photographer for major publications.
Throughout his career, Scavullo captured iconic images of numerous celebrities and models. He was instrumental in launching the careers of models like Gia Carangi and Brooke Shields, and his work graced the covers of magazines such as Cosmopolitan, Harper's Bazaar, and Rolling Stone.
