Susan Anton and Dudley Moore! On cover assignment for People Mag in 1981. This was in my studio. Dudley’s latest movie Arthur was a gigantic hit. “Cuddly Dudley” is what the ladies would call him! #peoplemagazine #the80s #arthur

On a cover assignment for People Magazine with superstar Chaka Kahn, in the 90s. It was one of these rare rainy days in LA and Chaka was so cool when i asked her “Can we do singing in the rain in Beverly Hills,” and she loved the idea. We both got soaked, and she was awesome. One of my favorite photographs I’ve taken.

I shot this photo of John Slattery when we were both working on HBO’s K Street. I thought it would be fun to make a little poster of John, he always looked so presidential on set. To me, he looks like the perfect candidate. Maybe he’s interested? 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 #film #filmmaking #television #hbo #kstreet #johnslattery #georgeclooney #stevensoderbergh #washington #politics #fun #presidential #cinema #cinematography #tv #movies #justforfun #photography #photographer #photojournalist #celebrity #celebrityphotographer #marvel #marvelstudios #robertdowneyjr #superheroes #avengers #endgame @hbo @marycmccormack @marvelstudios @robertdowneyjr

On assignment for London Daily Express for a private photo session with Ali. He was a devout Muslim. I was very moved by the service and got to see his gentle, spiritual side, something the world could use more of today.

Took both of these on assignment for a People Magazine cover shoot on Jon Voigt. Using some of the film that wasn’t used for the cover, I decided to try something new. I always want to experiment with what can be done with film. After lots of trial and error, I got something fascinating. #jonvoight #actor #star #icon #celeb #art #photographer #photography #photoshoot #photo #photooftheday #photojournalism #photojournalist #artphotography @time @life @people @voguemagazine @vanityfair @rollingstone @nytimes @newyorkermag @latimes @lamag @theacademy @newbeverly

In honor of October and the approach of Halloween, and because a movie I executive produced called UNCANNY ANNIE is premiering on Hulu on the 5th, here is another shot from my Last Supper shoot. As most people know, this is Jason from FRIDAY THE 13th. A handsome man, as we can all see. #halloween #fridaythe13th #thetexaschainsawmassacre #anightmareonelmstreet #jason #freddykrueger #leatherface #michaelmyers #blumhouse #hulu #photographer #photography #photooftheday #photoshoot #photo #photojournalism #photojournalist @blumhouse @hulu @halloweenmovie @time @life @people @rollingstone @voguemagazine @vanityfair @latimes @lamag @nytimes @newbeverly @newyorkermag @fangoria

On assignment for the London Sunday Mail Magazine, doing a fashion session with Ali MacGraw. There was a unbelievable amount of time and money that went into not only this shot but the whole shoot. We did at least twelve wardrobe changes before the sun went down. Ali is one of the most beautiful women I ever photographed. More than that, she is one of the nicest human beings I’ve had the honor and pleasure of knowing and working with. She’s got a great soul. #alimacgraw #goodbyecolumbus #lovestory #actress #model #icon #star #celeb #photographer #photography #photooftheday #photoshoot #photo #photojournalism #photojournalist #fashion #fashionaddict @vanityfair @voguemagazine @gq @time @rollingstone @people @life @nytimes @lamag @latimes @newyorkermag @newbeverly @theacademy

On assignment for People Magazine doing a cover story on Cher after she won the Oscar for MOONSTRUCK (1987). Cher’s favorite getaway back then was her beautiful home in Aspen, Colorado. We had finished the LA section of our shoot, so we moved to her home in Colorado. When we did the shoot in Aspen, she was noticeably more relaxed and at home. I think I captured a different side of her. One of my favorite sessions of all time. #cher #moonstruck #actress #actor #star #celeb #icon #aspen #aspencolorado #colorado #photographer #photography #photo #photoshoot #photooftheday #photojournalism #photojournalist @time @life @people @rollingstone @voguemagazine @vanityfair @newyorkermag @lamag @latimes @nytimes @cher @theacademy @newbeverly

I took this photograph while covering the Iditarod for Life Magazine in 1986. Libby Riddles, the first woman to win the 1000-mile sled dog race from Anchorage to Nome, was defending her title after winning the previous year, which I also covered. I love the opening moments of the race, when the gun goes off. It was 15 below zero, the dogs were howling and people were going crazy. Having covered a lot of formula one, the energy was very similar. One of my fears with global warming is the loss of this great sport. #libbyriddles #iditarod #sports #dogsledding #dogs #dog #dogsofinstagram #doggo #doggy #sleddog #balto #racing #alaska #teller #dogmushing #musher #history #photo #photoshoot #photography #photographer #photojournalist #photojournalism #snow #ice #sled #champion @natgeo @people @life @time @natgeochannel @theacademy @rollingstone @newyorkermag @sportsillustrated

On assignment for People Magazine covering the Robert Mitchum and Elliot Gould film MATILDA (1978). The studio allowed us to have a private session for forty five minutes with Mitchum, Gould, and Matilda herself, the Kangaroo. Mitchum has always played the strong, silent type throughout his career, including as Philip Marlowe on the 1978 remake of THE BIG SLEEP, which I also covered. I wasn’t expecting Robert Mitchum to have such a great sense of humor. We all expect it from Elliott Gould, but Mitchum gave him a run for his money. The photo shoot was a blast. #robertmitchum #elliottgould #mathilda #thelonggoodbye #robertaltman #raymondchandler #philipmarlowe #noir #actor #star #icon #celeb #matilda #photo #photoshoot #photography #photographer #filmphotography #filmhistory #photojournalism #photojournalist @theacademy @people @newbeverly @time @life @vanityfair @voguemagazine @nytimes @newyorkermag @latimes @lamag

Another shot from my People Magazine cover assignment on the set of THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK (1980). This was one of the outtakes for the cover. I happen to like this one, but our photo editors at People picked their favorite. Happy 40th anniversary to the ongoing legacy of this incredible film. I think it’s the gold standard of the franchise. May the force be with you!

On assignment for People Magazine doing a cover shoot on highly anticipated ISHTAR (1987) starring Dustin Hoffman and Warren Beaty. Warren is beyond camera-shy, sometimes he wouldn’t even go to the shoots. I wasn’t sure if he’d show up, but 45 minutes after we were scheduled to shoot, I turned to Dustin for help, and suddenly Warren appeared. He said he had five minutes and then he was leaving. Thank god I brought props. Dustin and I put him through the ringer for as long as we head him, which stretched to about 20 minutes. It’s so nice to see after all this time that Ishtar is being reappraised. Martin Scorsese has said its one of his favorite films ever. #warrenbeatty #dustinhoffman #elainemay #ishtar #actor #star #icon #celeb #photographer #photography #photoshoot #photo #photojournalism #photojournalist @people @time @life @rollingstone @theacademy @newbeverly @latimes @lamag @nytimes @newyorkermag

Since yesterday’s post did even better than the one before it, let’s go for a third! This was at the end of the session, which was about four hours including the cover. Richard had gotten a special cake for Eddie. What I love about all these photographs is the relationship that develops between the two of them. It was so interesting to listen to the two Kings of Comedy discussing their careers and their trade. Wow.

After the reaction to yesterday’s post, I wanted to share another shot from the same shoot at Richard’s house. I wasn’t sure if the piano was a decoration or for playing. I asked them to play. Not even chopsticks came out. It was a great day. .

On assignment doing a cover for People Magazine on the two Kings of Comedy, Eddie Murphy and Richard Pryor. The two of them hadn’t met before. Richard had just gotten out of the hospital from his severe burns. Richard took Eddie on a walk through his beautiful property in Encino. They began to relax and bond. It’s essential when two superstars meet for a shoot like this that they’re not in competition with each other. They became great friends. Rest In Peace, Richard. #richardpryor #eddiemurphy #comic #comics #comedian #comedians #dolomite #comingtoamerica #actor #star #icon #celeb #photographer #photography #photoshoot #photo #photooftheday #photojournalism #photojournalist @_eddiemurphy_ @netflixisajoke @netflix @rollingstone @people @time @life @newbeverly @latimes @lamag @nytimes @newyorkermag

On assignment for People Magazine covering the making of A STAR IS BORN (1976). We were in Tempe, Arizona at the Sun Devil Football Stadium for one of the sold out concert scenes for the movie. This shot of Barbara Streisand and iconic music producer Bill Graham is backstage before Babs went out to perform. They’re listening to the director Frank Pierson. This photograph captures the intensity of the moment in time, which was always my goal while shooting. Rest In Peace Bill Graham. #barbarastreisand #babs #streisand #billgraham #astarisborn #astarisbornmovie #bradleycooper #ladygaga #kriskristofferson #icon #star #legend #celeb #singer #actor #photographer #photography #photo #photoshoot #photojournalism #photojournalist @people @time @life @rollingstone @vanityfair @voguemagazine @lamag @latimes @nytimes @nytimes @newbeverly @theacademy @ladygaga
