About this photograph

Carly Simon, American singer-songwriter, was twenty-six when Jack Robinson photographed her on July 9, 1971. It was her first magazine shoot. “The sandals were mine,” she recalled in 2006, “I remember how uncomfortable they were and how they made big dents in my legs.” Her debut album had not been long released and Simon would win the Grammy that year for Best New Artist. In the “Vogue’s Own Boutique” feature of the magazine, they describe the “tall, lean, and talented” Simon as “one of a new breed of girl singer/songwriters.”

About the photographer

Jack Robinson, Jr. (1928-1997), born in Meridian, Mississippi, became a renowned fashion and portrait photographer after moving to New York City in 1955. He quickly gained recognition through assignments with the New York Times and Life Magazine. His career peaked at Vogue, where he photographed celebrities like Elton John, Joni Mitchell, and The Who from 1965 to 1973. Despite his success, Robinson struggled with personal issues and relocated to Memphis in the early 1970s, where he shifted to designing award-winning stained glass. His extensive photographic archive, discovered posthumously, underscored his significant contributions to photography.
