The Beatles: Hatami is highly regarded for these early and extremely rare color photos of the Beatles at the legendary Cavern Club in 1963. Sent to Liverpool by Paris Match magazine to cover the Beatlemania phenomenon, he managed to gain access backstage and captured these amazing images of the Fab Four with three of the most significant guitars in rock history: John Lennon and his six-string Rickenbacker that he painted black, Paul McCartney with his legendary Hofner bass, and George Harrison with his Gretsch Country Gentleman.

This was on the heels of Bonnie and Clyde, one of the biggest blockbusters of all-time,
which sparked a revival in Depression-era lady chic. Hatami's soft, natural hues enhance
Dunaway's dazzling beauty and playful demeanor. -- www.shahrokhhatami.com
These rare portraits of Academy Award-winning actress Faye Dunaway were taken during a break in the filming of 1968's The Thomas Crown Affair. Dunaway's raw sexuality and boldness in the film, as well as her sartorial elegance (including thirty-one costume changes) made her a fashion icon of the late-1960s. -- www.shahrokhhatami.com
Ursula Andress: Hatami was an independent photographer for Paris Match magazine from 1956 until 1986. He also worked for ELLE magazine beginning in 1962, with 14 covers to his credit. In addition, he was photographer of Coco Chanel's fashion creations from 1962-1969. During this period, Hatami had the privilege of photographing some of the most eloquent and beautiful women in the world. -- www.shahrokhhatami.com
Thomas Crown Affair: With soft, muted tones and an ironic, detached air, these photos gracefully mirror the film's plot, about a high-class jewelery thief out to pull the perfect heist.
Thomas Crown Affair: Hatami was commissioned for these studio portraits by the film's producer,
The Mirisch Corporation. In the background is the 1967 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow Coupe
used in the film, currently part of the Petersen Automotive Museum collection. -- www.shahrokhhatami.com
The Thomas Crown Affair, a stylish 1968 crime film starring Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway, was a watershed moment in fashion history. From McQueen's classic three-piece suits with the slim, sharp-fitting waist-lines to Dunaway's mod-inspired mini-dresses, wide-brimmed hats, and white gloves, the result was two of the more elegant Hollywood style icons of the 1960s. -- www.shahrokhhatami.com
