He captured countless stars of the cinema, * including Woody Allen, Humphrey Bogart, Marilyn Monroe, Marlon Brando, * Alfred Hitchcock, John Wayne, Fred Astaire, Elizabeth Taylor, Ingrid * Bergman, Sophia Loren, Charlie Chaplin, Audrey Hepburn, Frank Sinatra, * and many more.  Shaw preferred to shoot his subjects without set-ups, makeup, or * decorations, encouraging them to be spontaneous and improvise— a style * that set Shaw’s work apart from the stereotypical Hollywood “glamour” * photographs of the day and foreshadowed his later role as an independent * filmmaker.' * Shaw carried at least two beat-up Nikons around his neck wherever he * went; ready to capture anything and anyone that caught his attention in * both black and white and color. As a result, Shaw's photographic archive * contains a vast array of subject matter from crime photography, sports, * landscapes and photojournalism to classic American and European cinema, * independent film, and portraiture * *Information from the artist's website: http://shawfamilyarchives.com/biographies.php
