Orlando Suero (*1925) started snapping photos with the Kodak Jiffy his father gave him in 1939. He later attended NY Institute of Photography and worked at camera shops and photo labs including Compo Photo Color where he printed the images for Edward Steichen's monumental exhibition, The Family of Man. One of his first assignments was to spend five days in May 1954 with newlyweds, Jackie and Senator John F. Kennedy at their Georgetown duplex, documenting their everyday lives. This was the beginning of a successful career shooting some of the most recognizable faces in Hollywood, among them Natalie Wood, Brigitte Bardot, Michael Caine, Sharon Tate, Paul Newman, Julie Andrews, Jack Nicholson, and Dennis Hopper. Because of his friendly and unaffected approach, his subjects opened up to him and his camera in a way not many others have been able to accomplish.
This monograph contains many never-before seen images of celebrities from the 1950's to the 1980's that have been sitting in storage for 40-50 years.

ORLANDO SUERO (*1925) begann seine Karriere mit Schnappschüssen aus einer Kodak Jiffy, die ihm sein Vater 1939 geschenkt hatte. Später besuchte er das NY Institute of Photography und arbeitete in Kameraläden und Fotolabors, darunter Compo Photo Color, wo er die ersten Aufnahmen für Edward Steichens monumentale Ausstellung The Family of Man entwickelte. Für einen seiner ersten Aufträge verbrachte er im Mai 1954 fünf Tage mit dem frischverheirateten Paar Jackie und Senator John F. Kennedy in ihrem Stadthaus in Georgetown, wo er ihr alltägliches Leben dokumentierte. Es war der Beginn einer erfolgreichen Karriere, in der Suero einige der berühmtesten Persönlichkeiten Hollywoods vor der Linse hatte, u. a. Natalie Wood, Brigitte Bardot, Michael Caine, Sharon Tate, Paul Newman, Julie Andrews, Jack Nicholson und Dennis Hopper. Aufgrund seiner freundlichen und ungekünstelten Art öffneten sich die Schauspieler ihm und seiner Kamera auf eine Art und Weise, die nicht viele Fotografen zu erreichen vermochten.
