Sophia by Eisenstaedt

In 1961, Sophia Loren met Alfred “Eisie” Eisenstaedt for the first time when he shot her for LIFE —the 20th century’s preeminent photography magazine. It was the start of a decades-long friendship between the captivating international star and the “father of photojournalism.”

This Collector’s Edition, signed by Loren, features just under two hundred of these photographs, the majority unpublished, of the renowned beauty on film sets, with her family, and just being her fabulous, spontaneous self.
