I loved shooting these images of #Cher it was such an honour to work with someone who had such an innate sense of themselves - shot on my trusty Hasselblad - there's something about black and white photography it has to be said. My lifelong obsession with the lens - more musings at www.clivearrowsmith.org
Pink & Fur - How To Spend It Magazine
Pink & Fur – How To Spend It Magazine
These images were a mystery to me until I had a phone call from my friend the really great hair dresser Kieth Harris saying, “Clive can you find these images?” He then sent me a photo of a tear sheet from How To Spend It Magazine – the Financial Times luxury title.
In between shoots my vigilant daughter Eugenie who works with me on my archive found some of the transparencies when we were…

Let loose with #Linhof Camera! I love being a photographer!
Face lift photos for Hearst Magazines
Face lift photos for Hearst Magazines
I shot these phots on a Linhoff 5×4 plate camera for Hearst Magazines – it was a story about the different aspects of plastic surgery. These are two of the images from the selection I shot. It was a complex shot as the girl had to stay very still as we reloaded the plates into the camera. After about 6 shots, without a polaroid and with my head underneath the black cloth at the back of the camera…

Clive Arrowsmith Charlotte Rampling Vogue 1970
I know one always says all these things about stunning actresses and models but Charlotte Rampling really was so great to work with. Even when I asked her if I could pour water over her head. She said yes and then my assistant was then duly instructed to stand on a tall ladder and sprinkle water over her.

A later shoot with Kelly post Hollywood stardom for Vogue by Clive Arrowsmith
I have had the extraordinary blessing of photographing some of the world’s most beautiful women. I first met Kelly in the late 70s in nightclub somewhere in Soho, leaning against a pillar gently swaying to the music.

British Vogue - The American Issue Part 3 (1973)
British Vogue – The American Issue Part 3 (1973)
The limo picked us outside our hotel (The Algonquin) and myself, my assistant Willie Christie, Grace Coddington and the model, my muse Anne Schaufuss piled into the back. On the spur of the moment Grace had said, “We are going to photograph Andy Warhol.”
I thought to myself and whispered to Willie, ‘Oh, I hope there is a big window as we haven’t brought any lights, it’s just me and my…

I first met Zandra at a shoot at Vogue studios while I was photographing some of her clothes with Vogue stylist Grace Coddington. She later asked me to do a poster for her next seasons collection. She had booked the beautiful model Susan Moncur who was the toast of the Parisian fashion scene at the time. My dear friend Leonard was…

Girl In the Timeless Room – 1969 Harpers & Queen
This was one of the first fashion shoots I did for Harpers and Queen as they then were. I persuaded Willie Landell’s the Art Director and Editor, to let me build a set. He said “Clive dear boy we haven’t got the money” I said, “Don’t worry I will build it with my assistants the night before.” We built the set with hardboard and cardboard and gaffer tape. I wanted it to look like the girl was…

Sci-Fi Mystery – Hyde Park – British Vogue 1970
In 1965 when I was an art student and I formed the Kingston School of Art Film Society one of the first screenings was Alphaville by Jean Luc-Goddard. I also showed films by Ingmar Bergman (The Seventh Seal) and Akira Kurosawa (Seven Samurai) and all the new wave directors of the day. I had always had a huge enthusiasm for cinema, even as a child. Black and white films with characters emerging…

Muse In The Mystical Garden – London (2015)
Noise Magazine contacted me and said ‘Would you like to do a shoot for us?” I hadn’t heard of the magazine before and the editor sent me a copy and the print quality looked great. This is something that is really important to me as it really makes a huge difference. I liked the magazine so I thought I’d like to work with them as they seemed like an imaginative title. I don’t know if they still…

The Many Beautiful Faces of Greta Scacchi - Actress, Model & Sublime Narrator
The Many Beautiful Faces of Greta Scacchi – Actress, Model & Sublime Narrator
The first shoot I did with Greta was for a jewellery company whose name I can’t recall, I think it was De Beers. I also cannot locate the pictures. A few years later she walked into a casting looking so beautiful and vivacious. I leapt up and said ‘Greta where have you been?”. The thing I noticed about her was that she had the most beautiful laugh and was always smiling. She was light and full of…

Hunters Thompson Gonzo – My Fear & Loathing NYC ’72
I first met Hunter on St Patrick’s night in NYC in the early 70s. I knew the streets would be full of celebrating Irishmen, so I put a white shirt on back to front and wore a long black trench coat and walked to his hotel pretending to be a priest, holding my Hindu meditation beads which doubled as a rosary to the lively throng. New York was buzzing with St Patrick’s day celebrants. Along the way…

Feminist Fantasy & Fairytales for TBWA Mexico City (2003)
I had an email from TBWA Mexico City (now Teran TBWA) – the female art director said she would like you to shoot a fairy-tale campaign . The images were to be posted on huge billboards across Mexico City and used as an advertising campaign. Sadly I do not have any photos of the billboards but I will never forget trying to create the high-resolution files for the posters, as the British digital…

The Liberty of Venus – Melanie Schrau (2002)
I went into Liberty of London’s flagship store for a meeting and sat in their beautifully Victorian Gothic office and waited to be seen. They wanted to discuss a forthcoming shoot. I thought as I was driving into town, and after discussing it with my agent that it would be a shoot of their wonderful interiors and fabrics. I was then walked by an elegant secretary into the main office where the…

Kansai, Fashion & Manga – At The British Museum
Hatsumi Iwasaki who works with Kansai Yamamoto’s got in touch to say Kansai would me to photograph his exchange student’s fashion show at the British Museum to open CITI MANGA (on till the 26th of August 2019). The whole evening was under the parasol of Kansai’s wonderful, creative and vibrant vision. At first I had fear and trepidation about how I would get the images right, where would we set…
