Yutte Stensgaard is captured in a luminous close-up publicity portrait associated with Hammer Films’ Lust for a Vampire (1971). Reclining outdoors in her yellow bikini, Stensgaard looks directly toward the camera as her blonde hair spreads naturally around her face. The tight composition, vivid blue eyes and soft daylight transform a simple glamour pose into an unusually intimate portrait of the actress during the production that gave her defining Hammer role as Mircalla/Carmilla Karnstein.

Directed by Jimmy Sangster, Lust for a Vampire stars Stensgaard alongside Ralph Bates, Suzanna Leigh, Michael Johnson and Barbara Jefford. The film forms the middle chapter of Hammer’s Karnstein cycle, following The Vampire Lovers (1970) and preceding Twins of Evil (1971), drawing on characters originating in Sheridan Le Fanu’s Carmilla. Stensgaard’s Mircalla remains the film’s central presence, making publicity portraits from this production particularly evocative pieces of early-1970s Hammer Horror history. Hammer confirms Stensgaard as Mircalla and the principal cast and production credits.

Carefully restored from archival source material and professionally lab-developed, this museum-quality photograph preserves the complete image area contained in the archival source. Meticulous restoration recovers color balance, facial detail, texture and photographic clarity while retaining the authentic character of the original publicity image. For collectors of Yutte Stensgaard, Hammer Horror, the Karnstein films and classic vampire cinema, this close portrait offers a distinctive alternative to the better-known full-length yellow-bikini publicity photographs.
