It has to be said that Friday nights launch of Peter Gabriel Reflections at The Museum of Bath Architecture was a totally delightful and overwhelming experience. The exhibition runs until February and you can find opening times and get more information here. I was so touched by the comments and responses to the work now […]

When I discovered them again between shoots, exhibitions and the whirlwind of the photography world. I realised how sensual and slightly androgynous the model is who I think is called Mona but I am not 100 percent sure. I shot these phots on a Linhof 5×4 plate camera for Hearst Magazines – it was a […]

It reminds me of Marlon Brando’s remark from On The Waterfront, when a character says “Are you looking for trouble” and Brando replies “What have you got?”. Mick looked like a streetwise New Yorker, who was ahead of the game. He certainly didn’t look like a quiet working class lad from Hull (in the North […]

Lovely to see this picture on the cover of the Western Mail weekend magazine. You never stop being thrilled at being on the cover of a magazine and it was a real pleasure speaking to Nathan Bevan. Thanks Nathan, heres the link to the full article here. Enjoy. Clive Arrowsmith is still  shooting stunning images, […]

The suspended box idea was influenced by the box in Francis Bacons paintings, his tryptic of portraits of Lucien Freud (1969)  (see below). The set designer and my assistants dashed of and got some chrome effect plastic tubing and cobbled it all together while the GHD Sirens were in hair and make up. It was […]

Even when I asked her if I could pour water over her head. She said yes and then my assistant was duly instructed to stand on a tall ladder and sprinkle water over her. The main thing I find using Adobe Photoshop is I can revitalise and re-image the colour and restore the original quality […]

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”.

Marina Schiano – Photograph Clive Arrowsmith – Styling Grace Coddington Hair Leonard Make Up Gil I first met Marina Schiano in Hanover Square at the offices of Vogue. Grace Coddington said to me “I have the most incredible Italian model for you to work with.” Grace was never prone to exaggeration, she added “You will […]

The assistant came back out and said in a shocked tone “He’s sticking them on Roys face!”  I said “Really, not pinning them into his skin surely”. He said “I don’t know” Fashion editor Grace Coddington was my reluctant model  when the model that Vogue had booked got lost cycling along the … More

The wonderful and gifted British Vogue editor Grace Coddington myself, model Anne Schaufuss (my then love and muse) and Willie Christie (my erstwhile assistant) set off early one morning in my custom red Gordon Keeble sports car (with a Chevy engine) for Deauville.

Lovely to see this image in the January issue of RPS Magazine, nice to see this image in print. Clive Arrowsmith is still  shooting stunning images, staging exhibitions and is as passionate about photography as he was when he first pressed the shutter at The Paris Collections. He is available for global media opportunities related […]
