PHOTOGRAPHING FAME For any movie actor, getting your own photo shoot in Vanity Fair magazine is a sure sign that you’ve hit the big time. The glossy publication’s celebrity pictures have long been iconic and now the very best of them are being showcased. An exhibition celebrating Vanity Fair’s finest star photos has opened at LA’s Annenberg Space for Photography. Visitors see not only glamorous portraits of the industry’s major players, powerbrokers and parties from the past four decades but also get to sit for their own VF style photo session – as our own Sandro Monetti did in one of the pictures opposite. Multimedia instillations tell the story of the magazine, including the fact that Madonna holds the record for being on the most covers, with 11, although Brad Pitt and Nicole Kidman are close behind with ten covers each. The free of charge exhibition, called Vanity Fair: Hollywood Calling, runs in Los Angeles until July 26 2020 and after that time will tour around the world.
