Did You Know?

Salut de Schiaparelli was created to promote a perfume with that name released by Paris designer Elsa Schiaparelli.

Description

Ilse Bing employed solarization here to evoke an otherworldly, surrealistic feeling. The procedure involves quickly re-exposing a photographic print to light during the development process, before the image is fixed. The result is a partial or total reversal of tone, so areas that are dark become light and vice versa. Bing considered darkroom work a final stage in a photograph’s creation.
