Victor Skrebneski (born 1929 in Chicago, U.S.) is a photographer born to parents of Polish and Russian heritage. He was educated at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 1943 and attended the Illinois Institute of Technology from 1947 to 1949. He set up his own studio in Chicago in 1952. The Art Institute of Chicago had an exhibit of his work in 1969.[1]
Victor is most known for his fashion photography and his work for the ad campaigns of the cosmetics, fragrance, and skin care company Estee Lauder, Inc., notably his fifteen year collaboration (1970-1985) with model Karen Graham creating the portrait portfolio marketing campaign known as 'The Estee Lauder Woman.' The longevity and format of this campaign make it unique in the annals of marketing. A single portrait of Ms. Graham was placed in prestige fashion magazines each month depicting an element in the idealized life of 'The Estee Lauder Woman,' often photographed in black and white, an unusual medium for cosmetics, fragrance, and skin care product lines, which commonly rely upon the visual impact of color photography. The duration upon this one theme produced approximately one hundred and eighty portraits of Ms. Graham, each remarkably individual yet highly recognizable, an achievement few photographers or promotional efforts can be said to have achieved. Their collaboration concluded amicably when Ms. Graham retired from the modelling profession.
Mr. Skrebneski has also photographed various celebrities, including Cindy Crawford (whose first notable photos he took), Oprah Winfrey, Audrey Hepburn, Diana Ross, Hubert de Givenchy, Diahann Carroll and François Truffaut.[2] He has created numerous other ad campaigns. Skrebneski's iconic black and white poster images shot for the Chicago International Film Festival often featured nude models and have become collectible over the years.
