Girls in Bubbles
French model Simone in the bubble, Bar du Baguette, Saint Germain en Laye, France. Photo by Melvin Sokolsky, from his Bubble Series, 1963.
“The bubble in the series is made of Plastivew and is composed of two hemispheres with a 1/8-inch crack to allow for breathing room. Then the bubble was hung from a very thin, but strong cable. (It could have also held up a Cadillac.) This was probably one of the easiest shoots I’ve ever done in my life because there were no hair or makeup interruptions. No one could touch her in the bubble, so it was just her and I creating the images.” – Melvin Sokolsky
