Cornelia Guest Shares Her Favorite Photo Ever | Stories Behind the Pictures

Cornelia Guest didn't have to get into these rooms because she grew up in them. In this episode of Stories Behind the Pictures, Cornelia walks through Ron Galella's photographs of a New York that ran all night, when you knew everyone at the party and the party rarely ended. She has a favorite picture in the world, and she'll tell you why it still brings her to tears. She remembers the friends and the designers, the late nights and the one rock star who spent a whole era trying to get away from her. The names are famous. The stories are hers. Ron was there for all of it. Purchase Ron's Books ►► https://rongalella.com/books License Ron's Photos For Your Editorial Needs ►► https://www.gettyimages.ca/search/2/i... About Ron Galella: Ron Galella is the most iconic candid celebrity photographer of all time, hailed as “Paparazzo Extraordinaire” (Newsweek) and “Godfather of U.S. Paparazzi” (Time, Vanity Fair). His bold, intimate style has defined entertainment photojournalism for nearly six decades, capturing everyone from Jackie Onassis and Marlon Brando to Lady Gaga and Taylor Swift.
