Stevie's image and Herbert Worthington

[bombaysaffires]

Looking through all the early FM pics of Stevie, most of which were taken by Herbie Worthington, it's evident how much of her image is crafted by him or by her with him. He took amazing photos that showed off her beauty and magic on and off stage. I've read in the past how she cultivated her relationship with him and really worked with him after seeing how great many of his pics of her were to learn how she wanted to be photographed and lit for photo shoots, what angles worked best for her and so on. So many of the classic, iconic, enduring images of Stevie were taken by Herbie and she smartly used their relationship to learn how to control and document the visual image she wanted.
