Somerset House hosts an exhibition of Veruschka's rare and nearly forgotten photographs. The images refer to the period of her active creative collaboration with Johnny Moncada. Having met in 1963, they turned out to be extremely useful to each other - Moncada acquired in the person of Veruschka (at that time her name was not yet so famous, she was just Vera) a muse, and the model worked out her signature poses during photo shoots, learned to "serve" yourself. This busy period resulted in 3,000 photographs that Moncada kept unpublished until his death. Based on materials from the photographer's personal archives, the book From Vera to Veruschka: The Unseen Photographs by Johnny Moncada was published earlier this year. Now Moncad's work can be viewed at the exhibition of the same name in Somerset House, which will last until June 1.
