Little model
Kiernan Shipka by Mikael Jansson for Interview Magazine

One such young starlet featured is 10-year old Kiernan Shipka who you may recognize as little Sally Draper on Mad Men.

The photos are all lovely, black and white images. But looking at them, I feel strongly that a big part of what makes these images strong and beautiful and even with somewhat of an ethereal quality, is really the styling here and not necessarily the photography. Of course a lot goes into creating a beautiful portrait, and certainly how the photographer interacts with and views the subject is a part of it, but when it’s really stripped down and simple, gray backdrop and subject…no elaborate set decor, etc. the styling of the subject can make a huge difference. Would these photographs be less beautiful if you took away the couture? Not necessarily, but it does help to create a particular feel in the portraits.
