The Beauty of Kelly LeBrock – Heart of Gold – Clive Arrowsmith Photographer

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. A later shoot with Kelly […]

Charlotte Rampling – Vogue September 1970 and Harpers (early 90s) – Clive Arrowsmith Photographer

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.

Pink & Fur – How To Spend It Magazine – Clive Arrowsmith Photographer

I shot these phots on a Linhof 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 […]
