Quote from: Snook
Rob he was acutally hot in the late 90's and is a complete asshole by the way.
I use to know him from Miami and when he was a Male Model.
His stuff is pretty outdated and not people like to work with anymore b/c he is such an asshole...:+}

Snook



Sook, we are ALL assholes in one way or another and it´s been a long time since I carried a catapult or sling.

I find his work very polished, dynamic and he finds/creates the most exquisite creatures on Earth. What´s not to like? I only wish that we were all as good as he, then there would be no platform from which he would shine over us.

;-)

Edit: if we are to speak about folks being assholes, then on the basis that we all are and all - usually - have one in working order, there is hardly a photographer newish today whom I´d care to spend time interviewing. Of the older ones, there are many whose work I admire, and I have mentioned them here quite often. But with whom would I like to spend time? On the basis that I don´t know any of them personally but have read quite a lot about them, I have to go back to one of my favourites, Sarah Moon, whose interview with Frank Horvat in Horvatland.com I find very revealing and very similar to my own view of how creative photography actually functions when you are trying to produce something out of very little, creating that whole which is greater than the sum of the parts. Beyond the fact that I love her style, I think she is a little 'complicated' in the head, which makes her even more interesting. The one other person, whom I think was both great maker of images and also a very rewarding person to read, has to be Jeanloup Sieff.

I might be able to expand the list on a generous day, but today I´ll ride with those two.

I'm an old Sarah Moon fan too!  Attached is something shot in the 70's that was to be a GAF500 national ad.  Unfortunately, GAF pulled out of the film business a couple of months before it was to run.  The campaign featured myself and Sarah Moon, I was just out of RIT and couldn't believe it!  Probably wouldn't have started shooting cars if the ad had run.  Also, attached are a couple of Citroen shots she did in the mid 70's, as well as, a new piece of mine.  Jim

I rest my case. The first two almost bring tears to this old guy´s eyes and that wishing that won´t go away. Assuming you haven´t PShopped them since, the last two demonstrate that effects were possible way back when... Oops - just noticed the car on its own isn´t old! Too many tear drops!

If that film was available today, I´d keep that F3 guarded with my life and the freezer would find the Kodachrome removed and usurped by GAF! Never got around to using it, but there was a golden opportunity when I did my Tennent´s Lager shoot in Provence, a shot from which I posted on the thread that James started a while back. Sadly, I wasn´t brave enough to go for it because I´d made the mistake of emphasising the beauty of grain to the Marketing Director and, not having the Pirelli to show him, words didn´t swing it my way. Damn!

Beautiful stuff that renews my faith in mankind.

How did the job go - did you work together, doing your separate bits or a team thing? That´s the kind of thing I find fascinating to learn about - must be a groupie after all!

Thanks so much for posting.

Very nice....reminds me of my parents Citroen.  You can really sense the drama in those images...and yours...I think they are expertly executed.

Rob, I never worked with Ms Moon.  The campaign came about because I sent some work to GAF and they built the concept around it.  As I recall it was entitled "The art and the artist" or something like that.  Anyways, they flew me to New York and had someone shoot my portrait.  I was just starting out as an assistant and the studio I worked for was pretty confused about it all.  Glad the Lotus image is getting such a favorable response, thanks for the compliments!  I've got a couple other views I'll post when they're done.   Here are a few more Citroen images.  Jim

Nice pose, interesting model, great shot. I'd smooth out some of the bumps in the seamless though.

Could I?  Would I?

Bet it happens the other way around, if it hasn´t happened yet, of which I´m far from sure!

In the 50s or perhaps very early 60s? Louis Stettner was shooting very atmospheric colour too; I remember a series in either Popular Photography Annual or their Colour - sorry, Color - Annual which was named A Painter´s View of New York in which he had very grainy stuff, bags of mood. Or am I thinking, instead, of Len Steckler? Dammit, I think I am... there was also, perhaps in other years - it gets hazy in here - work by Gordon Parks using shots of people looking through the rear windows of those horse-drawn coaches that drive around the town... beautiful material, romantic, elegant and so removed from the in-your-face attitudes of fashion today.

Whilst I do see a strong vitality in much contemporary fashion work, I have to admit a nostalgia for romance and chic. Not a lot of it about today.

"flew me to New York and had someone shoot my portrrait,"  no names? Not gonna ask, but how did you capture all these Moonbeams?

EDIT: Citroën Maserati? Happy relationship didn´t continue very long, did it... just like the EU today!

Just so there's no misunderstanding, the Citroen work was shot by Sarah Moon.  I'll try to dig up some of the other work that landed me in the campaign with her.  Jim

I love that first one. Her dress pattern, her looking/lashes, the dog chain, the glow of the light of the upholstery.... Just beautiful
