 Louise liked to focus on her subject's hands whenever possible, favoring complicated arrangements such as Shearer playing with a long string of beads.


Norma Shearer's classic beauty and unmatched profile enabled accomplished photographers like George Hurrell and Ruth Harriet Louise to work magic with their subject. Their different approaches to the craft of photography produced indelible, dramatic images which enabled legions of filmgoers to study this very special actress not just on the screen, but up close as well; whether via glossies handed out by MGM, or in dozens of monthly publications devoted to film stars, Norma was studied and adored by millions.

Ruth Harriet Louise and Hollywood Glamour Photography by Robert Dance, Bruce Robertson

"One of the finest photographers I know is a woman. I speak of Ruth Harriet Louise who has made M-G-M beauties even more beautiful."

Louella Parsons
 


 

Louise made Shearer look patrician and elegant, but the actress also wanted to be portrayed as sexy-- a circumstance that finally cost Louise her position at MGM. Not until Shearer was photographed by George Hurrell would her image change.
