  • Oil painting

  • Solarization

  • Lithography

  • Carbon print

Answer

Solarization, the chosen artistic technique for Miller's Vogue cover in 1930, involves exposing photographic paper to light twice during development, resulting in a distinctive tonal reversal effect and a dream-like, surreal appearance. This innovative technique captured the avant-garde spirit of the time and added an artistic touch to the fashion photography of the era.
