The Portraits feat. Anne-Marie Edvina (1961)

These portraits of 21 year old Anne-Marie Edvina were made by 10 photographers for an exhibition in Paris. Using Anne as their only model, they were free otherwise to experiment with any lighting, make-up or printing techniques they wished. In so doing they showed that the camera can be as wonderfully changeable as a pretty girl (source).
