“American Girl in Italy” este una din clasicile lucrari ale lui Ruth Orkin. In 1951 ea a calatorit in Israel avand un angajament din partea Filarmonicii Israeliene. Dupa ce a trait cateva luni in acolo, ea si-a continuat calatoriile in Italia. In Florenta a intalnit un student la arte ce ii va deveni subiect pentru o fotografie ilustrativa intitulata “Don’t Be Afraid to Travel Alone”.
Orkin a fotografiat aceasta nemuritoare imagine in Piazza del Republica din Florenta. Fotografia a fost publicata intai in paginile revistei Cosmopolitan (9/52) iar de atunci a aparut in nenumarate alte publicatii si este cunoscuta in intreaga lume.
American Girl in Italy is Orkin’s classic signature image. In 1951, Orkin traveled to Israel on assignment with the Israeli Philharmonic. After living in Israel for a few months, she continued her travels in Italy. In Florence, she met an art student in her hotel who became the subject for a picture story titled “Don’t Be Afraid to Travel Alone.” Orkin shot this timeless image at the Piazza del Repubblica. The photograph originally appeared in Cosmopolitan, (9/52) has now appeared in countless other publications, and is known throughout the world.
Multumesc, Alex, ca incerci sa culturalizezi publicul. 🙂
