Yutte Stensgaard, Michael Johnson and director Jimmy Sangster are captured during an intimate rehearsal for LUST FOR A VAMPIRE (1971) in this exceptionally rare black-and-white behind-the-scenes photograph. Stensgaard’s Mircalla Herritzen and Johnson’s Richard LeStrange rehearse their embrace at close range while Sangster watches attentively beside them, creating a remarkable production image in which performance and direction are preserved together within the same frame.

Directed by Jimmy Sangster for Hammer Film Productions, LUST FOR A VAMPIRE stars Yutte Stensgaard as Mircalla Herritzen and Michael Johnson as Richard LeStrange, alongside Ralph Bates, Suzanna Leigh and Barbara Jefford. The second film in Hammer’s Karnstein cycle followed THE VAMPIRE LOVERS (1970) and preceded TWINS OF EVIL (1971), drawing its vampire mythology from Sheridan Le Fanu’s CARMILLA. The visible chairs, equipment and location activity make this photograph especially valuable as a record of Sangster actively working with his performers.

Carefully restored from original studio-issued archival material and professionally lab-developed, this museum-quality photograph is presented uncropped, preserving the complete image area contained in the archival material. The intimate rehearsal, Sangster’s close observation and surrounding traces of the working Hammer production remain fully preserved—a distinctive collectible for admirers of Yutte Stensgaard, Michael Johnson, Jimmy Sangster, LUST FOR A VAMPIRE and rare Hammer behind-the-scenes photography.
