ANDRE DE DIENES
Andre De Dienes’ association with Marilyn Monroe began in 1945 when he hired her for one of her earliest modelling jobs and their working relationship continued until 1953. These photographs were taken in 1949 on Tobay beach, New York. The beach had been crowded when they arrived and there was no open background. Then suddenly, storm clouds gathered and within a few minutes the beach was deserted. The clouds dispersed and then they started shooting. “She had the presence of an established star, she was radiant,” recalled De Dienes.
