I was at The Worx studio in Chelsea waiting to photograph the up and coming actor (as he was at that time) Alan Cumming, for the Sunday Times ‘Next Big Thing’ feature. I was wondering what he would wear when he rolled into the studio dragging a wheeled suitcase behind him. “Hi” he said with […]

Raquel Welch “Clive, you are supposed to tell me I look beautiful” (90s) – Clive Arrowsmith Photographer
Raquel Welch only had three lines in the 1966 movie One Million Years BC but the sight of her in a doe-skin bikini became an iconic image of the time. To a certain extent Raquel and her curves was more reminiscent of the glamazons of the Marilyn Monroe era and was a direct counter point […]

A pale blue polo shirt, topped off with muted russet cardigan and grey trousers. I looked at him and thought, oh no this is like something my Granddad would wear, […]

The Girl In The Iron Mask shot for the FT’s then luxury lifestyle title ‘How to Spend It’ (those were the days). I’m particularly fond of the way she looks soulfully through the mask and radiates a particular intensity.
Yoko Ono – Clive Arrowsmith
Yoko Ono I was commissioned by The Sunday Times magazine to photograph Yoko Ono. Prior to my arrival and setting up, her P.R. person told me “you’ve got 10 minutes”. Yoko came in looking very composed. There was a stillness about her, similar to that of many Japanese people I’d come across in the past […]
