Erwitt may be known as for his candid black and white photos of absurd or ironic situations in everyday settings, but he was also sent on assignment to photograph celebrities and movie sets (as was the case with many Magnum photographers). He photographed Monroe on several occasions, the first (and the perhaps the best known) being his sequence snaps from the filming of The Seven Year Itch in 1954. Yep, the iconic flying skirt shots over a ventilation shaft. Erwitt would later photograph Monroe again in 1959 in between shoots of Some Like it Hot.
