Mirella Petteni by F.C. Gundlach, at iainclaridge.co.uk.
A couple of years ago I saw an exhibition of Gundlach’s work at the Martin Gropius Bau, Berlin. I’m not usually a huge fan of fashion photography, but I think Gundlach deserves to be well (better?) known. His black and white work, in particular, hits all the right spots for me.
This photograph is from 1963, and it’s not the most practical space suit in the world, but I like the angle and the parachute, so here it is.
