Tina Turner, Sequin Dress Sequence, Los Angeles, CA, 1983

You can almost feel the energy of that 1983 LA session just by looking at the print—her pose mid-motion is pure Tina. The photo captures the rawness of the studio setting without over-polishing her presence, which is exactly what I wanted for my music room wall.

The sequins catch the studio light so vividly that she seems to be mid-motion, almost like the photograph itself is dancing. I’ve stared at it for a full five minutes and keep noticing new details in her expression. It’s a fantastic capture of that raw 1983 session energy.

You can practically feel the energy of that 1983 session jumping off the print; her movement is so alive it’s like a freeze-frame of pure joy. The paper quality is solid and the details in the sequins are surprisingly sharp, making it a striking centerpiece in my living room.
