Sir Michael Caine – Tailor Made Laughter with Doug Hayward in Mayfair – Clive Arrowsmith Photographer
The Sunday Times Magazine asked me to photograph Sir Michael Caine, much to my extreme delight as I always loved his work. My favourite film of his was Dirty, Rotten Scoundrels closely followed by the John Houston’s film, The Man Who Would Be King, which is where I believe he first met his lovely wife […]

Warhol was a man of few words and wielded an antique polaroid camera and insistently took polaroids which he then dropped on the floor, without looking at them. I said ‘Are you going to open the polaroids Andy? He said, ‘No, I like them to cook because the colour becomes more intense.’ The scene reminded […]

I then asked him what he thought was the weirdest thing about the current music industry? He screwed his face up for a moment in silent contemplation and opened his eyes, looked up at me and shaking his head slowly said, “That U2 ever had a hit”.

In my imagination I thought Miyake must have been influenced by the Marvel comics superhero Dr Doom (though I have no evidence of this) it’s just the flowing hooded cloak and the futuristic body armour gave the designs a really strong other worldly aesthetic. Bianca came and sat under the spotlight and looked at me […]

When I discovered them again between shoots, exhibitions and the whirlwind of the photography world.

Jerry Hall 1970 – Texan Goddess – Clive Arrowsmith Photographer
Jerry shot on a summer afternoon in Chelsea. A breathtaking beauty, a stunning Texas Goddess. Tall as a tree and so much fun and so bright. I could really see why the entire world fell in love with her. She was so full of life and the camera loved her and her lioness mane of […]

Mick Jagger – The Savoy (Black & White) – The Many Moods of Mick – Clive Arrowsmith Photographer
I went to The Savoy Hotel in London for a US publication to photograph Mick, on our arrival the concierge said “He’s on the sixth floor”. So I went up to the sixth floor and heard some music coming through a doorway, so I knocked on the door and Nick Rhodes (Duran Duran’s keyboard player) answered. […]
