Vogue Cover...how was this done

[CMoore]

View attachment 240283 View attachment 240284 Have had a pleasurable time looking through the book I mentioned earlier for the first rime in a few years. (Personal View by Snowdon. Published in 1979. Looking at adebooks.com it is available for a good price. And also in German too!) I'll attach a couple of bad snaps of the book. Not sure if it's the same shoot as CMoore posted as possibly different models, but is for Vogue from 1959 and the text confirms shoes nailed to the floor and ropes suspended from the ceiling. Of course, it would be part of the process to then use a retoucher to finish off the prints before going to press. In the credits for the book, Snowdon acknowledges three different retouchers he had used up to 1979. Always good when a photographer credits everyone who has worked on a shoot!

Yes..... that is the same shoot or series of shoots.
Great info... Thank You.!
