This photo wonderfully captures a girl sitting near the water under a starry knight sky. The photographer and title are unknown.
Richard Avedon was an iconic photographer whose most famous works were shot for Harper's Bazaar, Vogue, and Life. An obituary published in The New York Times said that "his fashion and portrait photographs helped define America's image of style, beauty and culture for the last half-century."
You might have seen our first two Timeless Beauty posts: Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn. This time we bring to you the one and only Elizabeth Taylor.
This is a wonderful series of black and white photos of the Taj Mahal by Thamer Al-Tassan. I love how all the photos were taken from a different perspective which gives you a much deeper and in depth look at the the surroundings of the world renowned building.






This is an amazing set of photos by Aleksey Marina for the Omega-Print publishing house promo-calendar 2010. Each image brings you to a strange, beautiful, and elegant place.









Horst P. Horst is famous for his fashion photography, most of which was for Vogue magazine. Horst's method entailed careful preparation with lighting and props arranged in advance. It is easy to see why his photos are synonymous with elegance, style and glamour. If you like these, you can buy a book of Horst Portraits on Amazon.
Navid Baraty has a knack for shooting black and white photos in the rain. He has a way of capturing the solitude and solemness of being under an umbrella in the rain, even if there are others around.




You might remember Matt Mawson from his great Coney Island series. This time he captures the Queensboro Bridge in New York City and its surroundings. I think the high contrast in these photos really helps make these rainy day photos come to life and gives them a gritty look.
A beautiful photo by Edward Weston as part of his Nude series.
Interestingly enough, while uploading this photo to Facebook, this description was automatically inserted:
"The documentary, called Eloquent Nude, which chronicles the relationship of Edward Weston and Charis Wilson is done. Charis is now 92, and she was a big part of Edward's most productive years. She is perhaps one of the most famous nudes in modern photography. Her recollections, caught on film by McCluskey -- and recreated by McCluskey -- form the heart of the film. It will premiere on March 8th at Portland Art Museum."
