Reportedly, after hours of attempting to coax the snake into the ideal positions it finally snaked its way up the young actress’ body with Avedon patiently on hand to capture the split-second perfection of the serpent flicking its tongue into Kinski’s remarkably poised ear.
Finally the snake moved toward her head, and Avedon captured the precise moment when it flicked its tongue toward her ear. Shot for Vogue after the release of Roman Polanski’s movie Tess , for which Kinski won a Golden Globe award, the picture became a poster that sold over two million copies.
