About the Item

Sophia Loren – Antigua, February, 1979 In 1979, I was asked if I would go to Antigua to photograph Sophia Loren, well, this was magic, what a privilege. She had seen my work and had approved that I could go out there, that’s the way it works. So I flew out to Antigua and on her day off in the hotel where she was staying, outside her bedroom was a very big balcony in the shade, no way was I going to photograph her in the sun and she came out in this red silk dress, and the weather was slightly clammy and this dress was just clinging to her body, I mean, she just oozes sex. You don’t have to tell her how to pose, as soon as she sat down, her legs, her body, just looked magnificent. I got the tripod, I got the camera and I’m about to shoot pictures when she said, ‘David, do you sometimes put something in front of the lens?’ and I said, ‘Do you mean like a soft focus filter? I do sometimes use one Sophia but unfortunately I don’t have one with me.’ So she got up out of the chair and went into her bedroom, she came out and she tossed me one of her black stockings. Well, needless to say, I was in heaven.” Limited Edition David Steen Estate Print Limited Edition: All prints are limited editions, no further prints are produced once sold Paper size - 34 x 24 " / 86 x 61 cm Limited to 30 only this size All prints are bespoke and printed to order stamped and numbered by the Estate Copyright: © David Steen / The David Steen Archive David Steen’s introduction to photography was as a 15-year-old school leaver joining Picture Post where he had the good luck to be taken under the wing of the legendary Bert Hardy as an assistant. It was the ultimate training ground in photojournalism, and the launch pad for his career. David’s reunion with Picture Post after doing his National Service (as special photographer based in Eygpt, covering the major trouble zones) was short-lived. The magazine was losing ground and closed. He moved to Fleet Street, first to a bright new Mirror title, Woman’s Sunday Mirror, where incidentally he picked up First Prize in Encyclopaedia Britannica’s Best Pictures of the Year Award for his sequence of ‘Birth of a Baby’, the progress of a young woman delivering her own baby under hypnosis. He was 21, the youngest ever to be awarded this prize. There followed time as a staff photographer with The Daily Mail; Fleet Street was the hub of the world. Then on to freelancing…Queen magazine, Nova, the Sunday Times Magazine, international magazines around the world, over the years covering projects as diverse as riots in Harlem to a film set in Acapulco, a battered wives’ refuge to the Queen and family at Sandringham: the hopeless, the homeless, the glitterati. Trained on the maxim ‘every picture tells a story’ he has focused on film stars, actors, criminals, politicians, prime ministers and countless men, women and children going about their everyday lives. David Steen believes himself to be lucky. He thinks lucky; luck is being in the right place at the right time, having the luck to have a loving family and enduring friends and winning a three-year battle against cancer. Asked by aspiring photographers for his best advice, his stock reply is: ‘Get up early.’ David Steen † 1936 – 2015 Tags: sophia loren, antigua, 1979, red dress, italian film star, legend, actress, famous, fame, firepower, movies, actor, hollywood, houseboat, that kind of woman, it started in naples, two women, yesterday, today and tomorrow, marriage italian-style, sunflower, the voyage, a special day, grumpier old men, nine, el cid
