This image was featured on the cover of Life magazine on November 9, 1959, as part of Halsman’s famous Jump Book series. The image is one of his most iconic portraits as it captures Monroe mid-air with a joyful, spontaneous expression. Halsman believed that asking people to jump revealed their true selves, stripping away posed personas. Monroe participated in the shoot – despite arriving late – resulting in some of Halsman’s final photographs of her, and the image became a symbol of both her charisma and Halsman’s innovative portrait style. Monroe reportedly jumped over 200 times during the shoot to get the perfect image.
Chip Forelli – (no specific title, but found on his General Industrial Energy gallery page, and images such as this are often categorized under thematic collections like “Hand of Man”, “Hint of Man”, or “No Man” by him)
Blurred motion is used to evoke energy, transformation, and the dynamic nature of industrial processes. Forelli often features machinery, turbines, or industrial structures captured with long exposures or intentional camera movement, creating a sense of fluidity and abstraction. Rather than presenting industry as cold or mechanical, he reveals its aesthetic and emotional dimensions, turning utilitarian forms into expressive visual art. He studied architecture, which influences his strong sense of form and structure in his photography.
