Once we arrived at the Baths I had my assistants set up a flash unit, suspended over the Roman Bath on a boom. This would not have got past health and safety today and I was really nervous incase the boom failed, fell into the water and electrocuted Peter and myself.

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 […]

George Harrison & The Ravi Shankar Orchestra – Friary Park (1976) – Including Some Unseen Clive Arrowsmith Images – Clive Arrowsmith Photographer
George Harrison rang me up and said “I’m doing an album with Ravi Shankar and there’s no one I’d like more than you to take the pictures” I’d known George since my art school days when I attended Queensferry School of Art which was about forty miles from Liverpool. We met was via Stuart Sutcliffe. The […]

Bianca came and sat under the spotlight and looked at me and leaning forward whispered “Are you ok Clive, you look a bit spaced out?” “I am, we were at an all weekend party madness and I’m still waiting for it to wear off” I whispered back “ I understand” she said with a knowing smile. […]
Adobe Photoshop – Clive Arrowsmith Photographer
The main thing I find using Adobe Photoshop is I can revitalise and re-image the colour and restore the original quality of the image. An analogy would be, if you remaster a Beatles album, you have the spirit of the original saved in a stable way and that is the blessing of digital.
Luxury – Clive Arrowsmith Photographer
It was a fraught and adventurous shoot, it has to be said, I risked life and limb by hanging over the edge of the top of the spiral staircase, with assistants holding my legs and jeans belt so I didn’t come to an untimely end. The Girl In The Iron Mask shot for the FT’s […]

I was always admired the mystique created by Ian Hunter always wearing shades much like the fabulous Jeff Lyne of ELO, it is his ‘look’. Shades are part of rock and roll imagery that Dylan used and in my opinion Bono has never quite pulled off (sorry Bono).

The Legendary Jean Shrimpton (1971) – Clive Arrowsmith Photographer
Early on in my career at Vogue I was delighted when British Vogue asked me to photograph the legendary Jean Shrimpton, she had been photographed by one of my favourite photographers, Richard Avedon for American Vogue.

Black and White Portraits – Clive Arrowsmith Photographer
I kept saying “Yes, Arthur in a moment, can’t you see I’m trying to interview one of the greatest guitarists in the world”. I thought a faint smile drifted across Ry’s face but I think that was wishful thinking. Eventually Arthur could contain himself no longer and he said within earshot of Ry ” Mr […]
