Tina Bockrath
When International Images archivist Rasika Reichardt first visited Playboy's Chicago headquarters, she immediately noticed a large, 4'x6' print of this image hanging on the wall and wanted to include it in the collection. It was difficult to find the film for it in the company's vast 15-million-image archive, but it was eventually determined that it had been used as a prop in Tina Bockrath's May 1990 Playmate shoot with longtime PLAYBOY staffer Pompeo Posar.
Posar first shot a series of black-and-white images of Tina and made the prints literally larger-than-life, almost billboard-size. He then took color shots of Tina posing in front of the black-and-white portraits.
"I'd give anything to carry out what Marilyn started doing — to have that image, that vulnerability, that magic that made men fall all over her."
