Actress and Socialite Elsa Martinelli, a favourite model of Mark Shaw's, was photographed for the LIFE January 1955 article 'Promise at Portofino'. Born Elisa Tia in 1935, Martinelli established her acting career after her photograph was spotted on the cover of LIFE magazine by Anne Buydens, Kirk Douglas' wife. Martinelli went on to gain international recognition, appearing in over 40 films and working with directors such as Roger Vadim, Mario Monicelli and Orson Welles.

Mark Shaw’s body of work can be found in the collections of many prominent photography collectors. Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, Cindy Crawford, Jennifer Aniston, and Martha Stewart are among the well-known figures who own his vintage or posthumous prints. Some of Mark Shaw’s most beautiful photography work was commissioned by fashion houses over a ten-year period. After working in still photographic film for over twenty years, Shaw embraced a new challenge, by 1965 Shaw was an active film director filming award winning commercials for television and working as a photographic consultant to film directors.

Mark Shaw’s vintage silver gelatin prints were all produced under his supervision. There are a limited number of these prints available for sale and are mainly one off prints. Most works depict the Kennedy family. There are a few vintage prints available of Audrey Hepburn, Coco Chanel and other celebrities. They were produced during the 1950s and early 1960s.
